A woman checks in to a San Francisco hospital after finding a tumor on her back.  Medical science is baffled when the tumor grows and grows and manifests signs of some type of strange pregnancy.  Could it be that the tumor is the growing reincarnation of a 400-year old Demonic Native American medicine man?  Tony Curtis investigates with the help of Michael Ansara, Burgess Meredith and Stella Stevens.
