Has anyone seen or remember this little-known "Mad Scientist"-type movie from the '40's?

Our mad scientist infects/injects our hapless victim (a concert pianist) with a disease* that disfigures him in a horrendous way. The mad scientist also has a cure for the disease...but what is his price to fix the ailing victim?

No too bad...I doubt it was considered for an Oscar or any other awards of note, but not a bad flick...or at least not a bad way to spend an hour or so.

*The disease mentioned in this film: Acromegaly, is an actual medical condition that can cause disfigurement and death.
This one isn't a bad little film, but opposed to some other horror flicks that stand up to repeated viewings, I've seen this one about three times, which has pretty much met my fill on this one. One thing though: when J. Carrol Naish plays a baddie, his talent was enough to truly make you hate the bad guy!
