Ambitious student Victor Frankenstein lights upon the secret of creating life. However, having succeeded in his aim, Frankenstein recoils in horror from the 'demoniacal corpse' he has made. Craving acceptance and affection but met only with rejection, the monster wreaks his revenge on his creator, who finds that power brings responsibility, and that playing God is a dangerous game.
