Show Synopsis:
Dr. Frederick von Frankenstein is ashamed of his family name, since it is associated with the man who brought the dead back to life and created a monster. He inherits his grandfather's castle in Transylvania and has to say goodbye to his flirtatious fiancee to travel to the castle for awhile. The descendant of his grandfather's henchman, Igor, meets him in Transylvania, convinced that he and the new Dr. Frankenstein will make many scientific breakthroughs with the beautiful lab assistant Inga. Frederick becomes enthralled with his grandfather's scientific journals and decides to reanimate a dead body, but Igor accidentally puts an abnormal brain into a normal body. The Monster wakes up and runs away from the castle and the townspeople chase him to capture him. Frederick and Inga have a romantic moment right before Frederick's fiancee Elizabeth arrives out of the blue. When the Monster is captured, Frederick shows him love and teaches him to sing and dance so that he will be adored by an audience. During Frederick and the Monster's performance, a stage light explodes and the Monster runs away with Elizabeth and they fall in love. Frederick tries to transfer his intelligence to the Monster, but it does not appear to work, and the town hangs Frederick for (apparently) killing Elizabeth. The Monster, now an intelligent creature, arrives and revives Frederick, and just as the crowd turns on both of them, Elizabeth reappears and accepts the Monster's marriage proposal. The Monster is elected Mayor of Transylvania, Frederick decides to live in his grandfather's castle, and Inga agrees to marry him.
