This is the first in Hammer Film's series of Frankenstein movies–and perhaps the best. Mary Shelley's story about man entering a new realm of science without first considering the consequences is told through Dr. Frankenstein's (Peter Cushing) creation of life from dead bodies that results in a creature (Christopher Lee). But, the creature's brain accidentally gets damaged during the resurrection, and the creature turns into a homicidal monster using townsfolk as its victims. This leads to a dramatic confrontation between the monster and Frankenstein.

He is approached by the murderer, Heinz Webber (George Coulouris), who is also a diamond smuggler, and offers him money to take the blame for the murder. Bart needs money to pay for his son Jimmy's (Claude Kingston) eye surgery, so he accepts the offer. When he confesses to Scotland Yard, they do not believe Bart. Heinz thinks that Bart has not kept his word and seeks revenge. Now, Bart's former boss' niece, Jill Brook (Lois Maxwell), steps in and puts an end to Heinz's criminal activities.
