Baron Victor von Frankenstein has fallen on hard times; he was tortured at the hands of the Nazis for not cooperating with them during World War II and he is now badly disfigured. As his family's wealth begins to run out, the Baron is forced to allow an American film crew shooting a TV documentary about the story of his monster-making ancestors to film it at his castle in Germany. However, the Baron has plans of his own: using the money from the film crew's rent, he buys an atomic reactor and uses it to create a hulking monster, transplanting his servant's brain into the monster's head and using it to kill off the film crew for more body parts.—Jeremy Lunt
