The title seems to suggest that “Devil Bat’s Daughter” is a sequel of sorts to the original “Devil Bat” (1940). However, there are too many inconsistencies to establish the continuity needed for a sequel. “Devil Bat” fans will notice right off the bat (couldn’t resist) that in the six years after the first movie was made, the locale changed from Heathville (apparently somewhere in Illinois and near Chicago) to Wardsley, New York, outside New York City. The characters are all of course different, and so is the home of the mad doctor, Paul Carruthers, which now has a basement. The 1946 film also goes lightly over the facts concerning the doc’s predictable demise, noting that he was found dead, the apparent victim of one of his large bats. However, in the first film he is plainly killed by the devil bat in view of the sheriff, the heroine and the star reporter. Actually “Devil Bat’s Daughter” is little more than a rather obvious vehicle for a 1941 Miss America named Rosemary La Planche. The film lacks any of the mystery of the first, and simply winds its way to the predictable end.
