Virginia Maxon believed her ailing father merely needed rest and recuperation when she accompanied him from their home in Ithaca, New York, to an isolated island in the Pamarungs near Borneo. Little did she suspect Professor Arthur Maxon had sought out their secluded refuge to continue his gruesome experiments to create an artificial man from chemicals, just as she could not have known that her father’s assistant, Dr. Carl von Horn, plotted in secret against her father, even as he sought Virginia’s hand in marriage. Nor could she have conceived that Bulan, the handsome stranger in her father’s employ could have been other than he seemed: a perfect specimen of manhood with whom she unexpectedly found herself falling in love. But when a horde of horrifying monsters emerges from her father’s vats, all of these revelations will test the steel of Virginia’s courage.
