"Young Frankenstein" is a tongue-in-cheek comedy about the heir to the original Dr. Frankenstein. While the young Frankenstein initially refuses to admit to his background (stating that his surname is pronounced "Frahnkensteen") he finds he is willed his grandfather's estate. Once there, he finds Igor and a sultry mistress and is compelled to complete his grandfather's work. What then commences is a daring and hilarious attempt to find all the necessary parts to reanimate a corpse, without alerting the local police and townspeople. The creature is successfully reanimated, and as the young Frankenstein takes him to public displays (including having the creature dance to "puttin' on the Ritz") the creature begins to get into misadventures of his own. Completely misunderstood tragedies cause the townfolk to turn on both creator and creature leaving their lives hanging in the balance.
