Frankenstein #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Frankenstein #2 (1945) A mad scientist completes a statue of Frankenstein's monster and has it placed in a betting parlor, with a woman named Lana Carter putting the finishing touches on the work. One night, burglars attempt to rob Frankenstein's mansion, discovering the statue and believing it to be real when the monster comes to life and attacks them. Frankenstein uses his scientific apparatus—including a weather machine that creates lightning—to drive away the intruders, demonstrating his control over the creature and his inventive powers.
When a sculptor named Scorpon develops an sinister method to create lifelike "statues," Frankenstein is called in to stop a wave of grave robberies plaguing the cemetery—only to discover the true horror behind the artist's uncanny creations. What begins as a straightforward investigation becomes a twisted game of cat and mouse as Frankenstein closes in on Scorpon's terrible secret. This tale of misguided ambition and monstrous artistry blends mystery, humor, and genuine menace in classic monster-story fashion.
Frankenstein decides he needs a watchdog to protect his mansion from burglars, but his visit to the pet shop takes an unexpected turn when he catches the eye of the wealthy Sandra Debingsworth—who purchases him as her latest exotic pet for $200. Forced to perform as various creatures for Sandra's high-society gatherings and caught up in her crusade against common dogs, Frankenstein finds himself in increasingly absurd situations before fate (and a pack of impounded canines) brings him back home just in time for the burglars to return.
When Frankenstein receives a weather forecaster in the mail, the device's accuracy triggers an unexpectedly biblical downpour—prompting him to build an ark just like Noah's. What follows is a series of increasingly absurd encounters, from a confused Nazi submarine crew to a volcano-dwelling hermit, each pulling our misfit hero into their own desperate crises, as his grand ark adventure spirals into pure comedic chaos.
