Actually a very bad B-movie, but it still has its charm.
Bela Lugosi is very good again.
The film may not be comparable to Lugosi's earlier ones, but he still does a good job.
The Bat itself looks bad and actually suits such a film.
Definitely worth it for fans of Lugosi.

Excellent and especially short horror film, Bela Lugosi plays the mad scientist who has nefarious plans with his aftershave. At 68 minutes it's over and oh well, you know, it's nice to see once, nothing more than that and if you want to see it, check out YouTube where it is in its entirety.
