In the 1943 movie The Ape Man, Bela Lugosi stars as Dr. James Brewster, a scientist who is experimenting with a serum that can turn humans into apes. Brewster, who has become obsessed with his work, has been injecting himself with the serum and slowly turning into an ape. As Brewster's condition worsens, his assistant, Jeff Carter (played by Wallace Ford), becomes increasingly concerned. One day, Carter discovers that Brewster has been kidnapping homeless people and using them for his experiments.

Carter convinces Brewster to stop his experiments, but it's too late. Brewster's transformation into an ape is complete, leaving him with no choice but to escape into the wilderness.

With the help of Billie Mason (played by Louise Currie), a young woman who is concerned for Carter's safety, Carter sets out to find Brewster and stop him before he causes any harm.

The movie was released in black and white and has a runtime of 64 minutes. It was directed by William Beaudine, who was known for his work directing low-budget films during Hollywood's Golden Age.

The Ape Man was not well-received by critics at the time of its release, who criticized the film's low budget and lack of suspense. However, it has since become a cult classic and is ed for Lugosi's performance as an ape-like man.

Overall, The Ape Man is a classic horror film that explores the dangers of scientific experimentation gone awry. It's a must-see for fans of the genre and for anyone interested in the history of Hollywood's Golden Age.
