Hace 80.000 años la supervivencia del hombre en una tierra inexplorada y desconocida dependía de la posesión del fuego, una forma de combatir el frío y ahuyentar a las fieras. La tribu de los Ulam lo tenía, sabían cuidarlo y usarlo pero no sabían crearlo;de modo que preservarlo era su gran desafío. Cuando un torpe Ulam resbala y cae sobre el fuego apagándolo, la tribu sabe que su existencia está gravemente amenazada. Tres hombres comienzan su propia búsqueda de la preciada llama para devolvérsela a los Ulam

Wenn der Name Frankenstein in Misskredit gerät, sind alle Familienmitglieder aufgefordert, an der Rehabilitation mitzuwirken. So auch Urenkel Frederik, angesehener Gehirnchirurg aus Baltimore. Doch ganz so einfach ist das nicht, wenn man auf Urgrossväterchens Schloss mit einem Faktotum zu tun hat, das dümmer ist, als die Polizei erlaubt, und einem eine Assistentin zur Seite steht, deren körperliche Reize weit mehr hergeben als das blonde Köpfchen. So kann es nicht ausbleiben, dass es zu entsprechenden Pannen kommt, als man mit vereinten Kräften darangeht, nach den Plänen des Grossvaters einen Kunstmenschen zusammenzubasteln. Als zu allem Überfluss auch noch Frederiks Verlobte auf dem Plan erscheint, geraten die Dinge total ausser Kontrolle: Das Monster entwickelt sich zu einem wahren Intelligenzbolzen, während "Frankie Junior" in Sachen Potenz monströse Züge annimmt
