•
Larry Talbot goes, accompanied by his friend and "colleague" Dracula, to a scientist (this time it is the right one) capable of curing him of the evil that afflicts him and, despite the assaults of the usual Frankenstein's Creature, he will succeed in returning to normal and leaving with his girlfriend of the moment. A really interlocutory ending for the sequel of "Beyond the Mystery" (1944), which turned out worse than the first and directed again by "kenton" who tries to combine comedy and horror with a poor result. Not even to consider.
