When Wolf Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone), son of the original monster-maker, moves himself and his family back to his father's old stomping grounds, he finds that he has inherited more than a creepy castle.
A demented old villager, Ygor (Bela Lugosi), has been hanging around the ruins of Frankenstein's laboratory, scaring away the other locals. Ygor was condemned to hang for grave robbing, but miraculously survived with a broken neck as a souvenir of his date with the hangman.
Ygor shows Wolf the still living body of the monster -- comatose after being struck by lightning. It soon becomes apparent that, like his father, the Son of Frankenstein can't resist dabbling with things better left alone.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
CARETAKER
Name: Ygor Date: 1939
Supervisor: Dr. Wolf Frankenstein
Category | Unsatisfactory | Satisfactory | Excellent | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Work Productivity | X | I am very grateful to Ygor for looking after the slumbering monster and keeping nosy villagers away from the laboratory. | ||
Work Quality | X | The employee is not much help in the laboratory. He mostly just stands around and watches me work. | ||
Communication/ Work Relationships |
X | Ygor does a lot of skulking about, and I get the feeling there's a lot he's not telling me. | ||
Initiative | X | Ygor apparently has plans for the monster once he's revived, but I believe they are for a personal vendetta and not for the advancement of science. | ||
Dependability | X | Ygor tried to kill me when we first met. Since then his attitude has improved, but he comes and goes as he pleases, and I feel that I can't trust him. |
Summary: Ygor is very solicitous of his friend the monster. He is also very effective at scaring away nosy villagers. However, I question his motives and work ethic, and he does not appear to be very interested in advancing the cause of science.
