Os veteranos do terror Lon Chaney (Lobisomem) e John Carradine (Drácula) chegam ao laboratório do Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens) para implorar uma cura para seus instintos assassinos. Mas apesar da sinceridade do Lobisomem, Dracula na verdade procura apenas se aproximar da enfermeira (Martha O'Driscoll), quem ele pretende convencer a se tornar uma de suas "princesas das trevas". A loucura chega a seu extremo quando o doutor descobre o corpo de Frankenstein e faz tentativas de trazê-lo de volta à vida. Esses fatos são mais do que os moradores da vilas vizinhas podem suportar, levando-os a se unir para impedir as loucuras que ameaçam a segurança de seus familias e moradias.

The Utah Kid was a late entry in Monogram's "Trail Blazers" series. These low-budget westerns usually featured three cowboy stars; this time, however, there are only two, Bob Steele and Hoot Gibson. Though neither star is a spring chicken, Steele is the younger of the two, so he's the "Utah Kid" by default. The plot, involving a gang of crooks who go around fixing rodeo results, was designed to accommodate yards and yards of stock footage.
