Il regime penitenziario del futuro é molto diverso da quello attuale, infatti, i detenuti sono costretti a partecipare a delle folli corse automobilistiche, dove perdere può costare molto caro, perchè in gioco c'é la propria vita. Anche a Frankenstein, capiterà la stessa sorte, visto che la malvagia direttrice del suo carcere, a poche settimane dalla data del suo rilascio, gli impone di partecipare ad una di queste corse. Fortunatamente, Frankenstein, é un asso alla guida, e riuscirà a vincere la corsa e salvarsi la vita.
