Brief Description  The Devil's Hand is a 1961 low-budget American independent horror film directed by William J. Hole Jr. and written by Jo Heims. It stars Robert Alda as an engaged man drawn into a suburban satanic cult that worships a devil god named Gamba, manipulated by an alluring witch played by Linda Christian.

Plot:
The story follows Rick Turner, a standard, well-meaning man who is happily engaged to his sweet fiancée, Donna Trent. However, Rick's life takes a bizarre turn when he begins suffering from recurring, vivid nightmares of a beautiful, mysterious blonde woman dancing in the clouds. One night, a supernatural compulsion draws him out of his bed and leads him directly to a strange doll shop. Returning the next day with Donna, Rick spots a doll crafted in Donna's exact likeness. The enigmatic shop owner, Francis "Frank" Lamont, refuses to sell that particular doll, claiming it was modeled after a local neighborhood woman. Instead, Frank provides Rick with a different doll—one that matches the exact face of the temptress from his dreams: Bianca Milan.

Driven by obsession, Rick seeks out Bianca in real life. She easily seduces him and introduces him to an underground coven that worships Gamba, the Great Devil God. Frank, the dollmaker, is secretly the cult's high priest. To cement Rick's loyalty, Frank uses a voodoo doll of Donna, stabbing it with a pin and causing Donna to mysteriously collapse and land in the hospital. As Donna's health fails under the cult's dark magic, Rick is forced into a web of human sacrifices and horrifying rituals. He must ultimately find a way to break Bianca's hypnotic spell, battle the coven's supernatural forces, and save Donna before she is permanently sacrificed.
