When a jilted scientist is building a Frankenstein monster to kill for him, he decides to test it by using the type of lipstick his love interest wears as a kill trigger in order to pay her back for spurning him. He falls asleep on the couch, waiting for her to come over, and when she wakes him he goes into the monster's room to activate it. The monster kills him. During police questioning, it is revealed that the girl had kissed him on the forehead while he was sleeping as a reward for promising to introduce her to a show producer.
