Synopsis
Respected medical lecturer Dr. Frederick Frankenstein learns that he has inherited his infamous grandfather's estate in Transylvania. Arriving at the castle, Dr. Frankenstein soon begins to recreate his grandfather's experiments with the help of servants Igor, Inga and the fearsome Frau Blücher. After he creates his own monster, further complications ensue with the arrival of the doctor's fiancée, Elizabeth Benning.

Desperate to save his creation, Frederick proposes a highly risky brain transference procedure with somewhat surprising results.
