The previous Captive Wild Woman was such a success for that market that this sequel was made that is cheaper (using ten minutes of film from the first movie) but that has a lot more of Acquanetta in human form. That is a good thing. Another regular of low budget horror films of the time, actor J. Carrol Naish, plays a kindly doctor who takes in the ape form of an almost dead Acquanetta without knowing that it was once human.


He tries bringing it back to health but instead brings it back to hot human form who sees a man and wants it. Now. She speaks a lot with some mysterious accent that apes must acquire upon becoming human. Sort of a husky mix of Eastern European and South American I think. For the rest of the film Acquanetta walks around zombie like in fits and lurches brooding and killing chickens and men who get in the way of true love. But even apes need to know that love never comes easy.
