If you're expecting something akin to "Dr. Moreau" here, then think again. It's not that kind of fiend. It's actually co-writer and star Bruce Bennett whose whip-wielding "Charlie" rules his remote tropical island like a dictator. He has designs on visiting dancer "Glory La Verne" (Tania Velia) but she's not remotely interested, and when his attentions become a little more persistent she decides to ally with his henchman "David" (Robert Bray) to put a stop to his ruthless behaviour. At times Bennett delivers his maniacal character quite effectively at the start - a sort of depraved lunatic with an autocratic bent, but once that is truly established the rest of the cast really can't quite match his larger-than-life personality and the story just falls into a rather drab, no-budget, soap opera with little to redeem it or make it stand out for an overlong seventy five minutes. There's some lovely photography of their idyllic location (aka the Florida Keys) but otherwise this is a really only a chance for Bennett to have his moment in the sun before it all just fizzles out.
