A Gothic horror-science fiction hybrid where a well-intentioned doctor's pursuit of medical cures unravels into madness and monstrosity, blending classic monster mythology with mad-scientist ambition.

A scientist working on cures for rare afflictions, such as a bone softening agent made from molds to allow him to correct the spinal deformity of his nurse, finds the physical causes of lycanthropy in wolf-man Larry Talbot and of vampirism in Count Dracula, but himself becomes afflicted with homicidal madness while exchanging blood with Dracula.
