Summary:
Frankenstein's only friend is the compassionate Blind Man (O.P. Heggie). One day, in the town cemetery, he meets Dr. Praetorius (Ernest Thesigner) who decides that the monster needs a wife. Praetorious and Frankenstein build their "woman" and give her the gift of life. The monster is delighted and attempts to court his female companion. Sadly, she rejects him and recoils in horror. Their failure to form a successful union results in the now-famous fiery conclusion.
