John Carradine plays insane Dr. Walters, who is obsessed with his human gland experiments, where he turns a female ape named Cheela into a beautiful woman he names Paula Dupree(played by Acquanetta)! who joins the circus run by Fred Mason(played by Milburn Stone) whom she is in love with, but is driven to jealous rage when she discovers that he is already involved with Beth Colman(played by Evelyn Ankers). How will this unlikely soap opera turn out?
Utterly preposterous film with absurd science and hokey plot, (not to mention how awful it is to see lions and tigers in captivity fighting and being whipped) Sad to see perennial Universal Studios "scream queen" Evelyn Ankers wasted here, though Acquanetta does have an alluring screen presence that helps to an extent, despite the poor material she has to work with. Amazingly, the first of a trilogy by Universal Studios!
