Victor Frankenstein.

En la Inglaterra victoriana, el estudiante de medicina Victor Frankenstein ayuda a un jorobado sin nombre a realizar una cirugía de emergencia para salvar a la acróbata de circo caída, Lorelei. Impresionado por las habilidades curativas del jorobado y conmocionado por el trato que recibe en el circo, Victor lo rescata. Lo lleva a su casa y descubre que lo que tiene en la espalda no es una joroba real, sino un enorme saco purulento causado por un absceso prolongado. Victor lo drena y luego coloca al ahora exjorobado en un corsé ortopédico para que pueda mantenerse erguido. Lo nombra Igor Straussman en honor a un vecino recientemente fallecido.

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.
