Located in this world is a thriving village grimly named "Malaria", whose economy was based almost exclusively on agriculture until a mysterious change in climate caused the crops to wilt, impoverishing the people. A newly-risen leader styling himself "King Malbert" (Jay Leno) eventually proposes a new economy based on the creation of increasingly sophisticated, bizarre, monstrous, terrifying inventions; an idea that soon becomes the community's cultural core. Thereafter the inventors of frightening machines, who are known as "Evil Scientists", become the ruling class and are depicted overall as commanding, arrogant figures. Those born with a hunch on the back (an evidently common deformity) are forced to become laboratory assistants nicknamed "Igor", who are treated as an oppressed lower class and often thought stupid by the Evil Scientists who employ them. The protagonist of the film is an Igor (John Cusack) who is scientifically intelligent, despite being shunned by his own master, Doctor Glickenstein (John Cleese). According to the film's premise, this Igor has brought a cynical rabbit named Scamper (Steve Buscemi) back to life from death, and had made him immortal, much to Scamper's chagrin. Igor is also said to have transplanted a human brain into a life-support robot, which is thereafter nicknamed Brian (Sean Hayes).

Located in this world is a thriving village grimly named "Malaria", whose economy was based almost exclusively on agriculture until a mysterious change in climate caused the crops to wilt, impoverishing the people. A newly-risen leader styling himself "King Malbert" (Jay Leno) eventually proposes a new economy based on the creation of increasingly sophisticated, bizarre, monstrous, terrifying inventions; an idea that soon becomes the community's cultural core. Thereafter the inventors of frightening machines, who are known as "Evil Scientists", become the ruling class and are depicted overall as commanding, arrogant figures. Those born with a hunch on the back (an evidently common deformity) are forced to become laboratory assistants nicknamed "Igor", who are treated as an oppressed lower class and often thought stupid by the Evil Scientists who employ them. The protagonist of the film is an Igor (John Cusack) who is scientifically intelligent, despite being shunned by his own master, Doctor Glickenstein (John Cleese). According to the film's premise, this Igor has brought a cynical rabbit named Scamper (Steve Buscemi) back to life from death, and had made him immortal, much to Scamper's chagrin. Igor is also said to have transplanted a human brain into a life-support robot, which is thereafter nicknamed Brian (Sean Hayes).
