In the 1950s, James Whale, the director of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, has retired.

Whale slips into his past and indulges in his fantasies, reminiscing about gay pool parties and sexually teasing a slightly embarrassed, starstruck fan.

Boone, impressed with Whale's fame, watches Bride of Frankenstein on television as his friends mock the movie, his friendship with Whale, and Whale's intentions.
