OVERVIEW

The son of Henry Frankenstein, Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, moves his wife, Elsa, and son, Peter, to his father's estate to claim his inheritance. With the memory of the Monster still fresh in the villagers' minds, Baron Wolf receives only hostility. The only friend he makes is the local policeman.

Frankenstein becomes obsessed with the idea of salvaging his late father's reputation. He meets Ygor, his father's demented assistant who cheated death after being cut down from the gallows. Ygor tells the Baron that the monster is still alive and living in a comatose state.

The Baron revives the creature with the intent of showing that his father's experiment were meant to aid life and not to injure it. However, Ygor has different designs and intends to use the creature to gain vengeance on those who sent him to the gallows.
