First, we discuss the plot of the film "Victor Frankenstein." Actors embodied their characters very professionally. In Victorian England, Victor Frankenstein, a medical student, helps an emergency operation on an unnamed hunchback. The goal is to save Lorelei, a fallen circus acrobat. Impressed by the hunchback's abilities, shocked at the way he was treated in the circus, Victor saved him.
He brings the young man to his house and finds out that on his back there is not a hump, but a purulent bag, which was caused by an abscess. Victor trains him, then puts on a special back corset so that he can stand straight. The hero gives the assistant the name Igor Straussman. He calls his friend in honor of a recently deceased neighbor. Victor and Igor become partners and work on experiments to revitalize corpses. In parallel, the former dwarf learns to live in a society of people.
