Using his considerable inheritance, the young Baron engages a private tutor, Paul Krempe, to work with him on exploring new fields of biology and physics.Their first success is the reanimation of a dog's corpse by means of primitive electrical apparatus. Frankenstein becomes obsessed with creating and bringing to life a perfect human being with the hands of an artist and the matured brain of a genius.

He bribes and steals for the bodies he needs, and murders the elderly Professor Bernstein to use his brain. Frankenstein finally completes his Creature, but Krempe, is appalled and leaves. A stray bolt of lightning starts the generators and the Creature is brought to life, but the brain has been damaged and the creation is a mindless brute.
