[edit] Plot
A gangster named Scot Webster (played by Philip Terry), attempts to save his sister, Susan (Ellen Drew) from the clutches of a ruthless rival gangster W.S Bruhl (Paul Lukas). When one of Bruhl's gang members catches Scot in Bruhl's rented room, one of Scot's aides is killed by a gunman. The man tosses him the gun and disappears. Scot is tried and executed. A mad scientist (George Zucco) salvages his brain and transplants it into a gorilla. Using the strength of his new, bestial body, Webster begins stalking the gangsters to exact his revenge.
