Strange Confession (1945) was an Inner Sanctum mystery film, released by Universal Pictures and starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Brenda Joyce. It was directed by John Hoffman. It was later rereleased under the title The Missing Head.
Jeff Carter (Lon Chaney Jr.) is testing a vaccine for influenza. He is working for tycoon, Roger Graham (J. Carrol Naish), who takes the credit and the profit for Jeff's discovery. Roger cares more about profits than safety and tests it on Jeff's son. Jeff resigns and is blacklisted by his boss. He heads to South America to perfect the formula. Graham has used this opportunity to release the drug and romance Jeff's attractive wife, Mary (Brenda Joyce). When Jeff hears that his son has died, he takes revenge.
