| Story |
Mizuno,
the Human Vapour, returns after the explosion at the
theater, this time searching for a scientist by the
name of Gildor. As it turns out, the doctor has recently
stolen the body of the Frankenstein monster from a cemetery
in Germany and managed to revive the creature in his
laboratory in Hong Kong. This news reaches Mizuno, who
visits Gildor's lab in hopes that the doctor might be
able to resurrect his lost love, Fujichiyo Kasuga, who
perished in the explosion at the theater house.

| Background |
Since
the dawn of the 1960's, Toho had wanted to make a film
that incorporated the Frankenstein monster, and this
1963 effort by writer Shinichi Sekizawa marks one of
their earlier attempts. This project, which had its
first draft completed by Sekizawa on February 20th,
1963, pits the Frankenstein creature up against Toho's
the Human Vapour. As expected, the project had both
Ishiro
Honda signed on to direct and Eiji
Tsuburaya on board for the special effects. Unfortunately,
the production never got very far past the initial draft
stage, although Sekizawa would try his luck again with
the character for his Frankenstein
vs. Godzilla concept.
