In this sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Gill Man (aka the creature) is removed from his natural habitat and brought to a marine park in Florida to be studied by scientists. While at the park, the researchers attempt to test their evolutionary theories by civilising the amphibious beast through sometimes cruel experiments in behavioural conditioning. The creature eventually breaks free and goes on a murderous rampage in a desperate attempt to capture his beloved scientist Helen (Lori Nelson) and take her back to the Black Lagoon. Director Jack Arnold made the creature particularly sympathetic in this sequel, and in doing so firmly established him alongside Frankenstein and King Kong in the canon of lonely, misunderstood monsters provoked to violence.
