Doctor Victor Frankenstein creates a Bride for his Monster.  Victor attempts to destroy her, leaving the Monster believing he is condemned to be alone forever. He kills Victor's traveling companion Henry, leaving him imprisoned in Ireland, and then kills his new wife Elizabeth on their honeymoon.  Victor's father's heart gives out from the strain, leaving Victor to go mad with grief and swear revenge. 

The Bride survives and flees to Paris rather than reveal herself to the Monster.  She is able to find work as a courtesan, slowly building a palatial home for herself in the catacombs.
