Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) è ossessionato dall’idea di costruire un essere usando parti di cadaveri e dargli vita. Aiutato dall’assistente gobbo Fritz (Dwight Frye), si procura il necessario, ma, per l’ultimo pezzo, il cervello, Fritz prende quello di un criminale. Elizabeth (Mae Clarke), la promessa sposa di Henry, si preoccupa per lui e va a visitarlo in compagnia del luminare dottor Waldman (Edward Van Sloan), che, testimone del successo dell’esperimento di Frankenstein, decide di aiutarlo sin quando la creatura prende vita.
