Description
Summary:"The mad Baron Frankenstein is married to his sister, Katrin. With their two children they live a demented sitcom family's life; hubby rushes off to his lab and wife complains of neglect. With his trusty servant, Otto, the baron has constructed a heroic female and now plans to make her a male mate. For him he needs the brains of a lustful primitive 'who wants to make love to anything'. Things go awry when the baron transplants the head of a would-be monk instead of the lusty peasant, who becomes the baroness' lover"--Liner notes.
