Called in by a local game warden (Robert Long), biologist Dr. Harkness (Richard Crane) visits a backwoods village to investigate the freak sightings of a sabre toothed tiger - and to his amazement, he eventually finds and kills the creature ... but before he can show it to anyone else, the carcass disappears.

Nobody questions Harkness's theories more than local scientist professor Groves (Robert Shayne), and even his own daughter (Joyce Terry) - who has long fallen in love with Harkness - is surprised by his insistence - but what neither she nor anybody else knows is that the professor has secretly developed a serum that will return creatures to an earlier state of their evolution, a serum which he has so far tested on cats ... with success, obviously.

Now of course, it doesn't take the professor long before he gets the idea to test his serum on himself, and suddenly he turns into a Neanderthal, and not only that but a murdering one. When going through the professor's things, his daughter and Harkness find out that he is indeed the Neanderthal man killing neighbourhood folks, and they figure he might have gone after his fianc�e Ruth (Doris Merrick) ... but when they arrive at the hotel she stays in, the Neanderthal professor has already abducted her. Soon enough, a hunting party has cornered the Neanderthal professor and his fianc�e in a cave, but she and Harkness can help him escape ... but of course, he runs right into one of his sabre toothed tigers and is killed.

So-so drive-in fare - on one hand it's got a crazy concept that features many leaps of reason, a monster that looks much more like an ape in clothes than one would expect a Neanderthal to look like, and a very formulaic plot ... which are all things one has come to expect and love from 1950's monster movies. On the other hand though, the film is slightly on the dull side, fails to fill its formulaic plot with any real highlights to make it stand out. Fans of the genre will of course still like it, but it's quite a few feet short of being a cult classic.
