Synopsis:
Captain Comet receives a letter from Professor Sarcon in Africa. When he arrives in Africa, Sarcon ambushes him and uses a machine to switch his mind into the body of a super intelligent gorilla. The gorilla now in possession of Captain Comet's body kills Sarcon and returns to America.

In the gorilla body, Captain Comet sneaks aboard a ship that takes him back to America. He then tries to remain out of sight until he can find his body again. When the authorities spot him, Captain Comet locks himself in a laboratory. The gorilla in Comet's body comes to capture him, but Captain Comet is able to transfer their minds back to their original bodies. He then apprehends the gorilla.
