SYNOPSIS:
A mysterious vigilante known as "Dr. Rx" strikes again, leaving his calling card behind as evidence. All of his victims have been crooks who have escaped prosecution through legal loopholes and the baffling crimes involve death by strangulation and a possible attempt to implant a gorilla's brain into a human body. An offbeat comedy-horror film starring Lionel Atwill, veteran of such macabre classics as Doctor X (1932) and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), and featuring Shemp Howard as a bumbling police sergeant. Patric Knowles co-stars.

In the late 30s and 40s, Universal excelled at B-pictures. STRANGE CASE OF DR. RX is no exception. Don't miss this one, with its fast moving plot, sexy Anne Gwynne, funny Shemp Howard, and in one of his best roles, the priceless Mantan Moreland. Excellent atmospheric photography and production values. The entire cast is perfect! Transfer is first rate!
