In this television pilot, Dr. Frankenstein relocates to England to continue his macabre experiments in creating life from the dead. He assembles a new creature using stolen body parts, but the monster soon becomes uncontrollable. The story blends Gothic horror with early television melodrama, serving as a test for a potential series that was never realized.
