Give Beaudine some credit: he came up with an almost reasonable explanation as why the Frankenstein's are in California and why they get to meet Jesse James. Surely, that's not an easy thing to do. Some of the film is actually funny (like the monster wearing a hard hat for whatever reason) but mostly it's a competently shot film without wobbly sets or stuff like that. Even most of the acting is comnpetent. It's basically a group of craftsmen producing a complete and utter turd. The set up is absolutely ridiculous of course but mostly the film is downright boring with avery moderate camp value. If you fast forward the middle bit and if you are reasonably nintoxicated this is actually a fun way to spend an evening.
