Young Frankenstein

Victor Frankenstein, the legendary mad scientist, has passed away and left everything to his grandson, Frederick. The latter wants nothing to do with the notorious legacy of the family. To settle his inheritance, he goes to his grandfather's castle in Transylvania. There he meets Igor, the henchman, the beautiful assistant, Inga as well as the mysterious Frau Blücher.
Before long, Frederick was involved in his grandfather's experiments. He even succeeds in creating human life. But when they realize the monster has been given an abnormal brain, it has already escaped, ready to terrorize the countryside.
Will Frédéric repeat his grandfather's mistakes? Or will he succeed in transforming his monster into an elegant and intelligent man in the city?
