| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
In return for money and medical aid for his mother, struggling author Robert Sandell (Raymond
McKee) agrees to subject himself to some experiments by Dr. Lamb (Lon Chaney), who believes he
can prove the theory of evolution by changing a man into an approximation of his simian ancestors.
Robert is strapped to an operating table before he realizes the nature of the experiments but is saved
when a hunchback, a previous subject of the surgeon, uncages another victim, an ape-man (Lon
Chaney), who crushes Dr. Lamb to death.
