Synopsis: Kindly Dr. Adrian (Boris Karloff) is on the verge of creating a polio serum. Unfortunately, in order to complete his experiment he needs spinal fluid from a recently deceased human. All seems hopeless, but when a wild ape escapes from a nearby circus, Dr. Adrian's research takes on a ghastly new dimension. Director William Nigh (Black Dragons, Desert Nights) helmed this Poverty Row thriller from a screenplay cowritten by Hollywood legend Curt Siodmak (The Wolfman, I Walked With A Zombie). Who will you root for – the jungle beast, or the man of science?
