Storyline
In Mexico in the 1800s Dr. Maria Frankenstein, the granddaughter of the infamous Dr. Frankenstein, transplants an artificial brain of her own creation into the skull of Jesse James' slow-witted friend Hank Tracy and names him Igor.
In an ancient castle overlooking a small village in Mexico in the 1800s live Dr. Maria Frankenstein (Narda Onyx) and her brother, Dr. Rudolph Frankenstein (Steven Geray), the two grandchildren of the infamous Dr. Frankenstein whose Monster terrorized Europe 50 years ago. On the run from Marshall MacPhee (Jim Davis), Jesse James (John Lupton) and his slow-witted friend Hank Tracy (Cal Bolder), the last members of the James Gang, meet Juanita Lopez (Estelita Rodriguez) in the village; Hank is wounded and she takes them to the only doctor in the village. Once there, Maria sees this as a chance to complete her grandfather's work. She sends Jesse and Juanita to get medicine for Hank and while they are gone, she transplants an artificial brain of her own creation into Hank's skull. She names the resulting bald monster Igor and orders him to kill her brother. When Jesse returns, Maria tells him that Hank has already left - but Jesse suspects otherwise.
