Synopsis

A series of murders occurs near a nightclub and a local church. The list of subjects include meek church worker, Tashiro, who seems to act strangely around palm trees and bottles of alcohol. He's also torn between his love of the church organist and a nightclub dancer (much like Spencer Tracy in his portrayal of a drunken Mr Hyde in 1941). Tashiro's schizophrenic life is physically accentuated by a bite he received from a wild ape in the jungle during the war. Whenever he drinks excessively, he transforms into a beast-man (don't we all).
