An insane scientist [Carradine] develops a transfusion that will turn a gorilla into a beautiful woman named Aquanetta [Dupree] but the process kills the human giving the transfusion.
While visiting the circus it is discovered that Aquanetta has a mysterious power over the animals. Soon she is part of the act. All goes well until Aquanetta becomes jealous and begins reverting back to gorilla form…
It was fun seeing the male lead, Fred Mason played by Milburn [Doc on Gunsmoke] Stone.
