Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) is a brilliant scientist willing
to stop at nothing in his quest to reanimate a deceased body. After
alienating his longtime friend and partner, Paul Krempe (Robert
Urquhart), with his extreme methods, Frankenstein assembles a hideous
creature (Christopher Lee) out of dead body parts and succeeds in
bringing it to life. But the monster is not as obedient or docile as
Frankenstein expected, and it runs amok, resulting in murder and
mayhem.
