Summary
"Following a shipwreck, crewman Andrew Braddock (York) washes up on a mysterious island ruled by the seemingly benevolent Dr. Moreau (Lancaster). Braddock will learn that this "man of science" has been testing a serum on the island animals which is able to transform them into near-human beings. As the deranged doctor slips ever closer to insanity, Braddock's plans to escape the island along with Maria (Carrera), another of the doctor's guests, is thwarted at every turn. Has Braddock's discovery come too late? And at what cost?"--Container
