Plot summary
Dr. Watson recounts an unpublished case of Sherlock Holmes that brings Tarzan, Jane and Frankenstein together. We are in 1911, a British scientific mission discovered a body in the ice north of Archangelsk, Russia, that of a famous guinea pig, Frankestein's creature. But the mission was attacked by a German commando led by the cynical Colonel Bucher. All the scientists are exterminated, the creature carried away in its block of ice. Later, in Cameroon, Dr. Frankenstein, a German prisoner, telepathically communicates with his creature in front of whom he acknowledges his pride and wrongs. "I knew you were alive. I always knew that. All these years in spite of everything, I never stopped feeling your presence. For a long time, your heartbeat has replaced mine. Your shadow has invaded even my deepest dreams. I know you can hear me. You can fool the whole world, but not me. I know your powers. You can hear my thoughts very well. That's what you're doing now. If Colonel Bucher spies on our conversation, he will be bored as he listens to the silence that separates us... »
