 Moreau brings Parker back to the house and explains his experiments. It is now plainly obvious that the Doctor has some kind of God complex going on. |

Edward Parker is found drifting at sea, delirious and on the brink of death. The crew of the freighter Covena brings him aboard and to safety.
Parker tours the vessel and talks with with Montgomery, Moreau's assistant. about the island and the cargo, a virtual zoo, that is heading there.
The intoxicated Captain Davies is surprised to see a new face on the boat. He tells how Moureau's Island is spoken of in hushed tones throughout the seas.
The Captain shakes up Moreau's servant Ling by yelling at him. Ling spills some slop on the Captain who returns the favor with a punch.
Parker and the Captain just can't seem to get along. Captain Davies coldcocks Parker and offloads him to Moreau's boat along with the rest of the cargo.
Moreau protests the dumping of Parker, telling Captain Davies that there are laws against that kind of thing. Laws don't seem to mean much to him.
The three men steam to Moreau's island. Parker is treated well and promised a ride to his intended port of call the following day.
The crew of Moreau's boat is very odd looking. Parker does a lot of staring but surprisingly says nothing to either Moreau or Montgomery.
Shortly after arriving on the island Moreau takes Parker aside and advises him to stick close, for the jungle can be a very dangerous place.
As the men walk through the jungle they encounter a variety of strange looking men. Moreau handily dispatches them with his trusty bullwhip.
After the men eat, a strange almost human, howling is heard. Moreau tells Parker "You are a man of discretion" and quickly moves to a new topic.
Moreau introduces Parker to Lota, a beautiful native, as part of an experiment. They get along just fine. The hideous scream is heard again.
