Victor Frankenstein.

Di Inggris era Victoria, seorang mahasiswa kedokteran bernama Victor Frankenstein membantu seorang pria bungkuk tanpa nama melakukan operasi darurat untuk menyelamatkan Lorelei, seorang akrobat sirkus yang terjatuh. Terkesan dengan kemampuan penyembuhan si pria bungkuk dan terkejut dengan bagaimana ia diperlakukan di sirkus, Victor menyelamatkannya. Ia membawa pemuda itu ke rumahnya dan menemukan bahwa apa yang ada di punggungnya bukanlah punuk asli, melainkan kantung bernanah besar yang disebabkan oleh abses jangka panjang. Victor menguras nanah tersebut dan kemudian memasang penyangga punggung pada mantan pria bungkuk itu agar ia bisa berdiri tegak. Ia menamainya Igor Straussman untuk menghormati tetangganya yang baru saja meninggal.

In Victorian England, medical student Victor Frankenstein helps a nameless hunchback perform emergency surgery to save the fallen circus acrobat Lorelei. Impressed by the hunchback's medical abilities and shocked by how he is treated at the circus, Victor rescues him. He brings the young man to his home and finds out that what he has on his back is not a real hump, but a huge purulent sac caused by a long-term abscess. Victor drains him and then puts the now former hunchback in a back brace so he can stand upright. He names him Igor Straussman in honor of his recently deceased neighbor. Igor and Victor become partners in experiments to revive corpses, while at the same time Igor learns to live in human society. He soon meets Lorelei again, who has retired from the circus, and a romance begins between them.
