How much one can appreciate films of the mansion mystery sub-genre from the 1920s and 30s depends more or less on ones ability to enjoy a movie as a window into the pop cultural interests and obsessions of another time and the ability to ignore an awful lot of bad jokes. I, historically minded and easily amused as I am, can have a perfectly fine time with a perfectly inoffensive little movie like this, featuring everything this kind of film needs: A bad ape costume, a badly thought out plot, bad jokes, badly clichéd characters and murder.

"We must trap the ape and whoever is behind him."
