Lady Frankenstein

A trio of grave robbers led by Lynch delivers a corpse to Baron Frankenstein and his assistant Marshall for their experiments in reanimation. This marks the start of their grisly project to bring the dead back to life. Tania's later involvement hints at a deeper engagement with the work.

The next day, Frankenstein's daughter Tania arrives from school and admits she has understood his work with 'animal transplants' as a cover for reanimating corpses. She declares she wants to help and follow in her father's footsteps. Her enthusiasm foreshadows a dangerous collaboration.

That evening, a criminal is hanged down a well, and Frankenstein and Marshall begin harvesting salient body parts for their experiments. The act confirms their intent to animate life from death. The stage is set for the creation of the monstrous figure.

Using their harvested parts, Frankenstein, Tania, and Marshall successfully reanimate a grotesque giant corpse with a scarred, misshapen head. The creation embodies the fusion of science and ambition that will unleash chaos. Marshall's reports of success are tempered by the creature's dangerous potential.

The monster unexpectedly embraces Frankenstein, killing him by bear-hug and breaking his back before wandering away from the castle. Its escape marks the literal birth of the monster's trail of terror. Tania and Marshall report the murder to Harris while trying to cover for themselves.

Captain Harris arrives to harass Lynch at the hanging, claiming to be onto the grave-robbing operation. His presence sets the police focus on the criminals and their illicit activities. The tension foreshadows further conflict with the monster.

The monster roams the countryside, scaring a couple making love, then carries the woman to a river and dumps her in. Later two men who discover the body are killed when the creature breaks one of their necks. The creature's rampage heightens fear in the region.

The monster breaks into Lynch's home while he is with a local prostitute and kills Lynch by beating him to death. This brutal act deepens the villagers' resolve to stop the monster and the associated grave robbers. The murder underscores the monster's indiscriminate violence.

In a following wave of killings, the monster murders a local farmer and his wife. The body count rises as fear drives people toward drastic action. The threat now touches every corner of the village.

Lynch's two grave-robbing friends are also killed as the monster continues its killing spree. The losses cripple the criminal network behind the abductions. The town's fear grows with each new death.

Tania goads Marshall into admitting romantic feelings for her and explains the plan to transplant Marshall's brain into the young, healthy body of Thomas. Her manipulation shows the depth of her moral decay. The room is thick with tension as loyalties and ambitions collide.

To make space for the transplant, Marshall secretly watches as Tania seduces the young Thomas, and then kills him with a pillow during their lovemaking. The murder clears the path for the brain swap. The castle's halls echo with the cost of their experiments.

Tania completes the transplant, placing Marshall's brain into Thomas's body. The new Thomas speaks with Marshall's voice and possesses extraordinary strength. The two minds now share a single body, amplifying the danger.

Villagers arrive with torches and pitchforks to confront the monster now terrorizing the town and the castle. Inside, Marshall/Thomas fights the monster in a brutal clash, losing an arm in the struggle. The mob's assault forces the castle into chaos.

Tania stabs the monster from behind as Marshall/Thomas fights it, and they finally kill the creature by puncturing its head. The villagers burn the castle while Harris arrives with Julia to witness Tania and Marshall/Thomas naked in the aftermath. During their lovemaking, Marshall/Thomas begins to choke Tania as flames consume them, sealing their doom.
