The Revenge of Frankenstein

In 1860, Baron Victor Frankenstein is sentenced to death by guillotine for the murders committed by the monster he created. He escapes execution by having a priest beheaded and buried in his place with the aid of a hunchback named Karl. Three years later, Victor, now going by the alias Doctor Stein, has become a successful physician in Carlsbrück, catering to the wealthy while also attending to the poor in a paupers' hospital. Dr. Hans Kleve, a junior member of the medical council, recognizes Victor and requests an apprenticeship with him. Together, Victor and Hans continue with the Baron's experiment: transplanting a living brain into a new body, one that is not a crude, cobbled-together creature.
