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. The local villagers attempt to destroy the monster, who escapes and kidnaps Elizabeth. Desperate to save his creation, Frederick proposes a highly risky brain transference procedure with somewhat surprising results.
Young Frankenstein contains some adult themes and language and may not be suitable for young children.
