theme
There are references to electrical experiments being carried out on dogs, with fatal consequences, which are implied only in a scene in which an experiment is demonstrated. In another scene, a newspaper report is read out giving the details of the death of a man in a prototype electric chair. Apart from a stylised image of the man's head wreathed in smoke, there is no other sight of his painful and prolonged death by electrocution.
additional issues
There is mild bad language ('son of a bitch', 'goddam'). There are scenes of smoking which reflect the historical period in which the film is set.
