The Monster of Frankenstein offers a fairly conventional adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel. Within the gloomy confines of a foreboding castle, scientist Dr Victor Frankenstein conducts a ghastly experiment intended to resurrect the dead. Assisted by an aide, he succeeds in reanimating a being constructed from parts scavenged from corpses, yet the resulting creature proves to be both unpredictable and terrifying. Dr Frankenstein flees to his home in Switzerland, leaving his assistant behind with orders to destroy the monster. However, the doctor soon discovers he cannot hide from his shameful secret indefinitely, as mysterious murders occur around him, forcing him to wonder if his creation has truly perished.

By the year 2010, the sprawling galactic corporation Catty & Co. has taken over nearly the entire economy of Cat Earth. Living on this world is Tamala, a beautiful but foul-mouthed cat who sets out for Orion, the place of her birth. After making an emergency landing on planet Q, she encounters Michaelangelo, whom she dubs "MoiMoi." The two explore the capital city, Hate City, currently under martial law because of ongoing conflicts between cats and dogs. They come across graffiti and museum exhibits hinting at the ancient Minerva cult, pointing to a dark hidden secret. When the aggressive biker Kentauros grows fixated on Tamala, she and Michaelangelo escape, yet questions about her past remain unresolved: why did Tamala originally leave Orion, and what is her link to Catty & Co.?
