“The black shadows of the past bred this half-man/half-demon! Creating a new and terrible juggernaut of destruction!”

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) comes back to his late father's estate with his wife Elsa (Josephine Hutchinson) and their young son, hoping to redeem a name the villagers curse.
