A doctor, who keeps an ape for medical studies, dies and his daughter inherits his estate. Her uncle, a paralytic, working through his natural son by the housekeeper, plans her death, and the ape may or may not be involved. However, the plan does have a problem or two in its execution. Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
This is a typical "Old House" film of the early 30's, but one of the "shabbier" ones. I beg to disagree with the other reviewer, but this film isn't THAT bad. Don't forget that when this film came out, the "weird events" that took place in this film (living eyes in pictures, a screaming gorilla) were NEW -- not old, worn cliches! I think that this film does admirably in creating a "creepy atmosphere", & it's interesting to see Micha Auer in a "creepy" role. An "oddity"....but, not bad!
