On a stormy night, Percy Bysshe Shelley (Douglas Walton (actor)) and George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (Gavin Gordon (actor)) praise Mary Shelley (Elsa Lanchester) for her story of Frankenstein and his Monster. Reminding them that her intention was to impart a moral lesson, Mary says she has more of the story to tell. The scene shifts to the end of the 1931 ''Frankenstein'', in 1899.
