Baron Frankenstein (Joseph Cotton) creates and is in turn killed by the creature (Peter Whiteman) he has created. His beautiful, scientist daughter Tania (Rosalba Neri) is, however, on hand to carry on his work; so while the creature roams the countryside Tania tries to transplant the brain of her weedy lab assistant fiancé Marshall (Paul Muller) into the body of hunky simpleton Stephen.
