What happens

Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (sometimes stylized as Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster) is a 1965 science fiction film, directed by Robert Gaffney and starring Marilyn Hanold, James Karen and Lou Cutell. It was filmed in Florida and Puerto Rico in 1964. The film tells the story of a facially-damaged android robot who fights alien invaders from Mars. Despite the title, neither Dr. Frankenstein nor Frankenstein's monster appear in the film. However, the android is partially built from human pieces and is often called by the first name "Frank".
