67 The Devil Bat ( 1940 )
Bela Lugosi is the star here and still in good shape.
He plays Dr Carruthers a trusted surgeon and chemist in the small town of Heathville dominated by a huge perfume manufacturer Heath and Morton. Their empire is built on Carruthers' work but he took cash there and then, instead of a partnership. He's now brassed off and planning to kill them and their families off using a secret giant bat which will attack anyone wearing his new aftershave.
The bat's not very convincing but otherwise this is reasonably entertaining.
