Women are being murdered in the Rue Morgue of Paris. The police use circumstantial evidence to arrest a college professor, although he has a shaky alibi. The real murderer is using an ape that he controls with hypnotism. Whatever potential the film had is lost with that last sentence. Originally shown in 3D (I watched a 2D to 3D conversion), the circus and zoo setting allows for some gimmick shots on a trampoline, with trapeze artists and a knife thrower, interesting but hardly essential.
