| StoryTitle4 = Experiment 1000 | Synopsis4 = Professor Ralph Scott arrives on Haven Island where he is greeted by Dr Kittridge who gives him a tour. Kittridge demonstrates how he is keeping wild animals alive with concentrated food tablets that satisfy their nutritional needs. Scott questions whether the tablets satisfy the animals instinct to hunt and kill on their own. Kittridge also explains that he has a formula X which renders humans immune to radioactive poisoning, but it is too valuable for one person or one country to possess. The pair then views a gorilla which has somehow obtained incredible amounts of intelligence. Kittridge theorizes that the intelligence gained by the gorilla might be a result of the different mixes of concentrated food tablets he is receiving. The gorilla shows signs of human speech, and he is provided with books and learning materials to enhance his intellectual abilities. One night Kittridge opens up his safe and discovers that Formula X is missing. He also notes that the gorillas cage is empty. The professor concludes that the gorilla has taken the formula for unknown intentions. Given the gorillas intelligence, the professor fears he has created a dangerous situation. Kittridge hunts down the gorilla to a nearby hut where he overhears a scene playing out. The formula had been stolen by a colleague Professor Simms and the gorilla was actually trying to prevent the theft. The beast is shot by Simms and dies. Simms is apprehended leaving the fate of Experiment 1000 in doubt.
