The film was distributed by Astor Pictures and was released theatrically on December 15, 1958 as a double feature with Missile to the Moon (1958). The film, set in 1950s America, tells the story of the creation of the first female "Frankenstein's monster". The film bears little resemblance to the Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley.
