Victor is Dr. Henry Frankenstein's best friend. He and Henry's fiance Elizabeth Lavenza are concerned that his experiments are wearing on his health considering he had been gone for an extended period in the Bavarian Alps.

Elizabeth and Victor ask Dr. Waldman for help understanding Henry's behavior, and Waldman reveals he is aware Henry wishes to create life. Concerned for Henry, they arrive at the lab just as he makes his final preparations, the lifeless body on an operating table. As a storm rages, Henry invites Elizabeth and the others to watch. Henry and Fritz raise the operating table toward an opening at the top of the tower. The creature and Henry's equipment are exposed to the lightning storm and empowered, bringing the creature to life.

When the Monster does no go according to plan, Dr. Waldman stays behind to destroy it as Henry goes home with Elizabeth and Victor.

Henry suspects the Monster. The Monster enters Elizabeth's room, causing her to scream.
