A doctor, who keeps an ape for medical studies, dies and his daughter inherits his estate. Her uncle, a paralytic, working through his natural son by the housekeeper, plans her death, and the ape may or may not be involved. However, the plan does have a problem or two in its execution.
Ruth Earlton and her fiance Dr. Ted Carver arrive at her fathers house soon after his death. There they find her invalid Uncle Robert, the housekeeper Mrs. Krug and the housekeepers son Hanns. Ruth learns a chimpanzee her father used in experiments is still kept in the basement. Earltons will leaves his estate to Ruth, but it will go to Uncle Robert in the event of her death. Small monthly sums are left to the housekeeper and her son. When Ruth goes to bed that night, a large, hairy hand reaches through the headboard and attempts to strangle her. She screams; it disappears. Ted and Mrs. Krug arrive at her room to comfort her. Ted gives her a sedative, and she falls asleep in a chair. Mrs. Krug stays with her, taking the bed. The hairy hand reappears through the headboard and strangles Mrs. Krug. Ruth awakens and alerts the rest of the household. Afterward, Hanns meets with Robert in secret, who tells him that their plan to kill Ruth has failed and Hanns has accidentally murdered his own mother. Hanns blames Robert for this, and after mentioning that Robert is actually his father, he strangles him as well, leaving him for dead. Hanns takes Ruth to the ape, but the ape grabs him.
