Universal created a semi-potboiler in this early creature flick starring John Carradine as Dr. Sigmund Walters, whose sanitarium has witnessed many unsettling experiments with nature. This mad scientist turns a gorilla named Cheena (Ray "Crash" Corrigan) into a beautiful woman. The gorilla is stolen from a traveling circus and injected with sex hormones from an ill patient (Martha Vickers). This will be the first featuring the winsome Paula Dupree...the Ape Woman (Acquanetta). Not too many like this filled the theater seats at the time.
Rounding out the cast: Evelyn Ankers, Milburn Stone, Fay Helm, LLoyd Corrigan and Paul Fix
