After Edelman discovers Latos' secret (that he is, in truth, Count Dracula), Latos begs Edelman to cure him of his blood lust. He agrees, not knowing Dracula has NO intention of giving up his blood sucking ways, or desires for his Nurse, Nina. Edelman slowly begins to realize he's been duped and given Dracula's blood instead of vice versa , and is turning into an ambassador of evil like Dracula, himself.

While all this is going on, Edelman gets a visit from Larry Talbot, who has an affliction of his own...he's the Wolfman. And naturally, soon the moon will be full!!!! Initially turned away by Edelman, he has himself locked up by the police, who entertain his plea thinking him crazy. They soon learn Talbot isn't crazy at all, after he transforms into the Wolfman in front of of the police chief and Edelman himself!
Learning he'll have to endure another episode before the doctor can help him, Larry decides to end it all and forgo the torturous transformation by jumping from the cliffs off Edelmans estate. The doctor tries to rescue him and discovers caverns under his mansion.  Along with the Wolfman!!!!!
Deteriorating rapidly, Edelman decides that rather than dissect the monster, he'll resurrect him instead, and rule the world. Fortunately for Larry, Edelman does his handiwork on him before he completely loses it. One of the greatest scenes of all these films is when Larry faces the full moon...and maintains his humanity. Unfortunately, he realizes he's the only one who can stop Edelman and his evil plan from going forth and ends up bringing him down and saving the world.

  
Larry comes out of his Wolf state finding his hands wrapped around the neck of the one man who can cure him, Edelman, who tells Larry that they've found the one plant on earth they need to cure him growing in those very caverns!!  They find something else too...the skeleton of Dr. Neiman and ... the Frankenstein Monster, still alive and kicking after sinking in the quicksand at the end of "House of Frankenstein".



 
This is pretty much the final nail in the universal classics coffin, at least concerning the principles of dracula, frankenstein, and the wolf man as we know them from that era. Happily, fortune smiled on horrorheads everywhere when it was decided to put them all together, one more time, for the eternal classic Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
