The story

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, son of Henry Frankenstein, relocates his wife Elsa and their young son Peter to the family castle. Wolf wants to redeem his father Henry's reputation but finds this will be more difficult than he thought after encountering hostility from the villagers, who resent him for the destruction wreaked by his father's Monster years before. Wolf's only other friend is local police Inspector Krogh, who wears an artificial arm because Frankenstein's creature ripped off his real one when he was a child.
