Man Made Monster Page #3

Synopsis: "Big Dan" McCormick is the sole survivor of a bus crash into hydro lines. 5 others were electrocuted. Intrigued by Dan's apparent immunity to electricity, Dr. John Lawrence, distinguished elector-biologist, asks Dan to visit him at his laboratory, where Lawrence's assistant, Dr. Paul Rigas, is secretly conducting experiments to prove his theory that human life can be motivated and controlled by electricity. Rigas persuades Dan to submit to tests, where Dan absorbs increasingly powerful charges until he develops an amazing degree of immunity, and becomes a walking hulk of electricity. Rigas does a final test of pouring a tremendous charge into Dan's body, and Dan becomes superhuman and his body glows. He is also a robot that is controlled by Rigas. When Lawrence tries to stop the experiment, Rigas orders Dan to kill him. Rigas removes the electricity from Dan's body and he becomes a shrunken shell. Despite the efforts of June Meredith, Lawrence's niece, and newspaper reporter Mark Adams

that we will do nothing

to injure his health

in the slightest degree.

Yes, yes, of course.

Well, then,

let's get to work.

What say you, pup?

You ready, Corky?

Go get it!

Good morning, Miss June.

Good morning, Dan.

Lovely day, isn't it?

Oh, it sure is.

Well, are you beginning to feel

at home around here?

Yeah. You know, every day around

here is like Sunday on the farm.

Well, they're not working you

too hard, then?

No.

Why, they just give me

a little shot of electricity,

feel my pulse and look in my eyes

and tap me on the knee.

You know how doctors do.

Well, doesn't the electricity hurt?

No.

Why, I used to take more than this

six times a day when I had my carnival act.

You know, Miss June,

you look mighty pretty

with those flowers in your arms.

Thank you, Dan.

You remind me of a girl

I used to be kind of sweet on.

She had a high wire act

in one of the Big Mac shows.

What happened to her?

She ran away

with the fire-eater.

Well, don't worry, Dan,

I won't do that.

Hi, Corky! Come here, kid!

Give me that ball!

Give me that ball. Come here.

Good morning,

Miss Lawrence.

Well, you do get around,

don't you?

How goes the great experiment?

Nicely, thanks.

How long does

a thing like this take?

Oh, weeks, months,

a year perhaps.

You see, when a scientific discovery

is announced to the world,

it must be proved beyond chance.

Well, you've had a week now.

What progress have you to report?

I think we can safely say that

the preliminaries have been completed.

Well, that's fine.

Now we can get to the main bout.

What are you doing tonight?

Why, Mr. Adams,

I thought you were here professionally.

Well, if you think there's

anything amateur...

Look, June,

you're making it awful tough on me.

I'm trying to romance with you

and what do I get?

Biology.

By the greatest authority in the world.

Well, maybe he is.

But if you're interested in the subject,

I, too, have a few ideas along these lines.

Hi!

Oh, I hope I didn't interrupt.

No, it's all right.

I wasn't getting anywhere.

Come on, Corky. Come on, Corky.

Come on, Corky.

Hey, you and Corky

seem to be getting along all right.

Sure, him and me

gets along swell.

Say, you want to

see something?

Get a load of this.

All right, Corky. Lay down.

Down.

That's it.

Now, turn over on your side.

Over.

Hold it. Hold it.

Now, clear up on your back.

Turn over on your back.

Hold it. Hold it.

Now back on your side.

No, no, the other side.

Hold it.

That's a boy!

He learned that one quick.

I think maybe when I go back to the

carnival, I'll get myself an animal act.

Dan, will you

come in here, please?

Sure.

No, not you.

No, no, no.

I don't like that guy.
