The castaway Edward Parker is rescued by a cargo ship that is transporting Mr. Montgomery and animals to the notorious scientist Dr. Moreau, who lives in an isolated tiny island in the South Seas. Edwad sends a message to his fiancee Ruth Thomas informing that he is safe and sound and will meet her at Apia. However he has an argument with Captain Davies that tosses him overboard on Dr. Moreau's vessel. The scientist welcomes Edward in his island and offers to transport him on the next day to Apia. Edward sees strange natives and is introduced to the beautiful native Lota. They hear screams from a room called the house of pain by Lota where Edward sees Dr. Moreau and Montgomery operating a person without anesthetic. But later Montgomery gives a justification to Edward that does not know that Dr. Moreau is performing experiences with animals turning them into people. Further, Dr. Moreau decides to keep Edward in the island since Lota, who is indeed a panther, is developing human emotions. What will happen to Edward?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
