Obsédé par la découverte de la cause de la génération et de la vie et par l'animation d'une matière sans vie, Frankenstein assemble un ètre humain à partir de parties volées de son corps. Après l'avoir rendu vivant, il recule d'horreur. Tourmentée par l'isolement et la solitude, cette créature jadis innocente se tourne vers le mal et déclenche une campagne de vengeance meurtrière contre son créateur.
