Jagd nach dem Saurierei: Sir William ist der Spezialbeauftragte der Polizei für mysteriöse, unerklärliche Fälle. Er kommt zusammen mit dem Taschendieb und Strassenjungen Eddie, dem Museumsangestellten George und der Pfarrerstochter Liz auf die Spur einer wissenschaftlichen Ungeheuerlichkeit. Der verrückte Giessereibesitzer und Industrielle Lorimore hat es nämlich geschafft, aus Leichenteilen und Maschinen neues Leben zu erschaffen.
