Plot summary
Victor Frankenstein, a medical student in 1860s London, goes to a circus, where he watches a hunchbacked clown use detailed anatomical knowledge to help an injured aerialist named Lorelei. Intrigued, Victor takes the abused clown away from the circus, corrects his deformity and gives him a new name, Igor Straussman, after a roommate who is not there. Igor goes from a mistreated circus performer to Victor's assistant. With Igor at his side, Victor keeps running experiments in the artificial creation of life, research he hopes will aid humanity. Inspector Roderick Turpin looks on their work as heretical and takes an interest in the pair.
