And now tonight's presentation of radio's outstanding theater of thrills suspense The story of Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley and starring mr. Treacy Harris and mr. Herb Butterfield James Hot Tuesday key James I'd like to talk to you well of course
Anything wrong? Yes. Well then, let's go in the house. I'll get you a beer. We can talk. Not in the house. Do you mind if we just walk? Oh, of course not. Hmm. I guess it'll rain.
When's Elizabeth coming home? Tomorrow or Tuesday, I think. James, I... Oh, look now. We're friends. You know you can speak to me. What's the matter? One of your patients die. You made a mistake, perhaps?
No, nothing like that. Perhaps it's worse, I'm not sure. Has it anything to do with Elizabeth going away? In a way, yes. Oh. Eh, my favorite place. You know, Victor, I think up most of my sermons here.
Listen, I've been doing an experiment. It's very complicated, I'm almost finished. That's wonderful. I think I'm a little afraid of it. I don't know. I've tried to think it out myself. I can't find the answer.
Go on. You've got to promise that you'll never breathe a word of what I'm about to tell you. You have my word. You swear? Why? Don't usually break my word. I'm sorry. Look, I've... I've made something.
It's tremendous. It's impossible. But I think I've done it. And it goes against everything you believe, James. What? What have you done? I put it together. Heart, brain, nerves, muscle, everything. I've done it. Do you understand?
A complete body. And you're upset because of that? You think you've done something wrong? Last night I made it move. I'm not certain, but I think I can give it life. Don't you see why I'm afraid, James?
