Inspired by H.G. Wells's classic novel &NFi;The Island of Dr. Moreau,&NFi_; this spine-tingling horror classic tells the story of William Fitzgerald (Richard Derr), who washes ashore on a mysterious island after a freighter wreck and is rescued by scientist Charles Girad (Francis Lederer). Turns out, Girard has surgically transformed a wild panther into human form -- and the tormented creature is now prowling the jungle, killing anyone in its path.
