Comment/Synopsis
An heiress (Shirley Grey) has only a limited amount of time to claim her inheritance but a mad scientist (Fred Malatesta) wants her money and gets three men to kidnap her and bring her to his house where he performs strange experiments with the help of his assistant (Geneva Mitchell). Fotunately she before she is kidnapped on a train, she meets Richard Talmadge who sets out to rescue Shirley Grey, even though she thinks he is part of the conspiracy. The plot is very thin but it is the acrobatic stunts of Richard Talmadge that make the film. Shirley Grey does a lot of screaming and fainting, though Geneva Mitchell has a more solid role. Quite why the scientist wants to turn people into manequins is not explained, but the story line is better done in the later film Carry On Screaming.
