OVERVIEW

Dr. Gustav Niemann escapes from prison with his hunchbacked cellmate, Daniel, after a destructive thunderstorm. They find refuge in a travelling carnival. The carnival owner has the skeleton of Count Dracula in his possession. After Daniel kills the owner they revive Count Dracula by removing the wooden stake from his seleton. Niemann's aim is to use Dracula to kill those who sent him to prison. Events lead to Dracula perishing in the sunlight.

Niemann and Daniel encounter a gypsy caravan, where Daniel falls in love with a young gypsy girl. She travels with them to Frankenstein's ruined castle. There, they find the the Frankenstein Monster and Larry Talbot, AKA the wolf-man, encased in ice. Daniel thaws them out and much to his distaste, the gypsy girl falls in love with Talbot. Niemann promises both Daniel and Talbot new bodies, but can he be trusted?
