Professors Dexter and Gilmore have successfully reawakened a tramp who had been frozen for four months. This was a preliminary stage for a more ambitious attempt at bringing a prehistoric man back to life. After a lengthy search, the two researchers find a body frozen in a block of arctic. Back at the lab, they revive him but he is unable to communicate with them and quite violent. He manages to escape his holding cell and kill a policeman on the street. Dexter decides he must replace part of his brain to make him more compliant and capable of talking. His first choice of a brain donor is the fiance of Gilmore�s niece, Anne. This upsets Gilmore so much that he pulls a gun on Dexter, threatening to shoot if he continues. Dexter is so angry that he schemes to use Gilmore�s brain instead. Once accomplished, the modified ape man escapes and heads to Gilmore�s house.
