Plot summary
Years after watching his father go to the guillotine, Hans works as an assistant to Baron Frankenstein, who with Doctor Hertz is trying to trap the soul of a person at the moment of death. Hans loves Christina, the daughter of the innkeeper Kleve, who is disfigured and partly paralyzed on her left side. Three young men, Anton, Johann and Karl, come to the inn, demand that she serve them and mock her, and Hans fights them, cutting Anton's face. Kleve is found beaten to death in his tavern, and because the police heard Hans threaten him the night before and found his overcoat beside the body, they arrest him. At his trial Hans refuses to say where he spent the night.
