This Columbia comedy short is a zany spoof of mad scientist films, parodying Fu Manchu and Dr. Frankenstein with two actors (Val Duran and Harry Semels) billed as Dr. Wong and Wilfred Lucas cast as Professor Edwin Millstone, under later creating a giant monster for use by Dr. Wong. Numskull detectives Tom Kennedy and Monte Collins are on the case, and their cowardice creates lots of laughs even though they're not usually funny.
The monster isn't exactly realistic looking, with his face more like a bad Halloween mask than anything a mad scientist could create. Yet some imagination is put in this even though it's somewhat cheap looking. The mad doctors easily steal the short away from the dated and not very funny comedy of Kennedy and Collins.
