Paula Dupree, Universal’s favorite ape woman, returns in this 1945 follow-up to Captive Wild Woman with Vicky Lane replacing Acquanetta as the shape-shifting glamour girl. Otto Kruger clocks in as a mad scientist looking to experiment on Paula while lab assistant Rondo Hatton has a different experiment in mind. Removing the recycled footage in Harold Young’s movie would reduce this 63 minute programmer to a short subject.

    Always great to have new TFH content from Mr. Landis. And thanks for the nice bonus fun at the end! I must have watched John’s “Trailers From Fail” more than a hundred times & am still hoping for a sequel.
