The Monster and the Ape (1945)

Within the hallowed halls of the Bainbridge Research Foundation, the world witnesses the unveiling of the Metalogen Man. This mechanical marvel, birthed from the genius of Professor Franklin Arnold, is revealed to his esteemed colleague, Professor Ernst, and a trio of curious onlookers. However, the spectacle of scientific triumph soon spirals into a chilling nightmare when the three visitors mysteriously meet their end at the hands of Thor - a colossal ape under Ernst's sinister control. In the wake of this alarming event, Arnold, his vivacious daughter Babs, and Ken Morgan, a representative from the corporation funding the robot's creation, are thrust into a desperate search. Their precious Metalogen Man has vanished, stolen under their very noses. Across a thrilling fifteen-chapter journey, our protagonists must chase down the cunning Ernst, the fearsome Thor, and reclaim their stolen mechanical prodigy. As they navigate a maze of perilous cliffhangers, Ernst's ominous scheme unfurls - a plot to seize both the Metalogen Man and the rare metalogen supply required for its assembly. A thrilling blend of science fiction and action, The Monster and the Ape promises a rollercoaster of excitement, suspense, and high-stakes adventure.
