Synopsis

In 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein’s Monster is still around and still lonely, so he seeks out Dr. Euphronious to make him a mate. The lucky lady is Ida, who has coincidentally also just been possessed by the spirit of Mary Shelley into making a scene in front of the mobsters she was partying with, which gets her thrown down some stairs.
