Dr. Carruthers feels bitter at being betrayed by his
employers, Heath and Morton, when they became rich as a result
of a product he devised. He gains revenge by electrically
enlarging bats and sending them out to kill his employers'
family members by instilling in the bats a hatred for a
particular perfume he has discovered, which he gets his victims
to apply before going outdoors. Johnny Layton, a reporter,
finally figures out Carruthers is the killer and, after putting
the perfume on himself, douses it on Carruthers in the hopes it
will get him to give himself away. One of the two is attacked as
the giant bat makes one of its screaming, swooping power dives.
