THE APE / Monogram Pictures - 1940 / Music by Edward J. Kay

Herro everbloody, tonight we gots a decent lil' flick from 1940 and star Dungeon King Boris Karloff. He is typical misunderstood scientist, Dr. Adrian, on verge of great discovery for mankind, but nobody like him and call him 'unethical' because of something in dubious past. Screenplay by THE WOLFMAN writer Curt Siodmak and from a play by Adam Shirk!

Dr. Adrian trying to help cure poor gurl Frances, who have polio!

THE APE show up at doctor' house and he want to hurt sumbloody! Then, Dr. Adrian actually stab and kill THE APE!! During scuffle, THE APE knock over all special spinal fluid serums for miracle polio cure!.. Oh, crap, now what is doctor going to do?!
