mesa of lost women (1953)

AKA Attack of the Spider Women.
"What a dump."
A couple are found wandering in the desert and when rescued they tell their story in flashback. They tell the tale of Arana (Jackie Coogan), a scientist living on a Mexican Mesa, who had a goal of creating a master race using spider venom. Injecting humans, the women develop regenerative powers, the men become dwarves and the spiders grow enormous and develop superhuman intelligence! Arana invites Dr. Masterson (Harmon Stevens) to see his experiments, but is drugged by Arana, turning him into a simpleton. Masterson escapes and hijacks a plane and its passenger, but unfortunately for everyone the plane has to land on Arana's mesa!
A very low budget sci-fi, that entertains more for the daftness of the plot and the low rent acting than the confusing screenplay.
