When the woman he loves dies under mysterious circumstances, a brilliant but twisted young doctor vows to bring her back from the beyond in director John R. Hand's experimental, low-budget take on the Frankenstein legend. Nobody really knows what strange goings on occur in the darkened hallways of Dr. Victor Karlstein's secret laboratory. A man driven by the obsession of restoring life to the dead, Dr. Karlstein refuses to accept that his beloved has passed away while she was being cared for at his strange facility. But to a man like Dr. Karlstein death isn't always so permanent, and with a little assistance from a reanimated and mechanically-enhanced corpse, he may be able to gather the parts needed to bring his love back to life before decay begins to set in.
