William Fitzgerald (Richard Derr), the sole survivor of a shipwrecked freighter, washes ashore onto the strange and mysterious "Blood Island." Near death, he is rescued by Dr. Charles Girad (Francis Lederer), a scientist researching the evolutionary link between man and beast. Much to the fear of the natives, Girard's bizarre experiments have successfully transformed a wild panther into human form. Hungry for blood the tormented creature prowls the tropical jungle, intent on killing anyone in its path. (official distributor synopsis)
