John Carradine plays an evil, mad scientist who steals a huge ape from a circus and through his experiments turns it into a woman at his sanatorium. Story wise it's silly but amusing, and it is reasonably well made. Much of the film takes place in a circus, however, and this is where lies my problem. Yes, the film is now old and things were different then but sadly this does feature lions and tigers in cramped conditions and being horribly abused, several times a lion and a tiger fight each other. All for our "entertainment". I could find no pleasure in this, only repulsion, hence 2/10.
