I am looking for this horror movie from the 1930's about an old man with no legs.?

He is studying the occult with a hindu mystic , trying to get his legs back so he can get revenge on, well, practically everybody.

Update:

no this was definately in the 30's and along the vane of the "Black Cat". Thank you though.

    It could possibly be 'The Penalty.' A horror film from the 1920's about a man whose legs were amputated when he was a child and he now seeks revenge on the doctor who performed the procedure. Does this sound familiar?

    "Blizzard, deranged from a childhood operation in which both his legs were perhaps needlessly amputated after an accident, becomes a vicious criminal, and eventually mob leader of the San Francisco underworld. Out for revenge against the surgeon who performed his operation, he undergoes brain surgery which has a chance of altering his anti-social behavior."

    I may be wrong, but I hope I answered the question correctly!
