Operation Blood Spray is in opposition to military comedies. Bredo Greve did not want to create entertainment; on the contrary, he exposes the military and the atrocities of war through powerful imagery. The poet Jan Erik Vold plays a confused man who desperately tries to get rid of a female ghost. Greve directs his meta-criticism both at modern, alienated urban society and the use of violence as entertainment.

In 1840s London, Dr. Thomas Bolton [Boris Karloff] dares to dream the unthinkable: experimenting with anesthesia gases to make surgery pain-free. While doing so, his demonstration before a panel of his peers ends in a horrific mishap with his patient awakening under the knife; he is forced to leave his position in disgrace. To complicate matters, he becomes addicted to his own chemical experiments and gets involved with a criminal gang led by Black Ben [Francis de Wolff], and a ruthless killer Resurrection Joe [Christopher Lee]. Unfortunately, this shady partnership leads Dr. Bolton to further ruin, culminating in his unwitting participation in murder — for which he becomes the first victim of a blackmail scheme.
