A scientist escapes from prison along with another inmate, a hunchback who becomes his faithful assistant. The scientist's imprisonment was due to his scientific work, which was very much in the line of Dr. Frankenstein's. Now his goal is to avenge himself of the men who were responsible for his incarceration. They encounter a traveling carnival show who has among its attractions the skeleton of Count Dracula.
Completely insane in a self-parodic manner that reveals the decadence of the horror genre as it was made at Universal at that time (RKO was quite strong though). The hunchback assistant was to go into Young Frankenstein a few decades later. Apart from the fine cinematography, typical of Hollywood films at that time, it seems, and the mild ludicrousness of its conceptions, there is little to justify viewing it.
