What was the terrifying secret of the vampire tree?

A group of tourists arrive to see the botanical gardens on a small island off the Italian coast. The only inhabitants of the island are the famous botanist Baron von Weser (Cameron Mitchell) and his two faithful servants; all of the other residents fled after a series of mysterious deaths. The baron is engaged in odd scientific research involving a menagerie of carnivorous plants, but takes great care of one particular specimen.
