Background

Inga is Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory assistant in Transylvania, Romania.


During the events of Young Frankenstein (1974) played by Teri Garr

After arriving in Transylvania, Dr. Frankenstein meets Inga and they head to the castle with Igor. They arrive at the door and are greeted by Frau Blucher and Dr. Frankenstein and Inga are taken to their rooms. Dr. Frankenstein has a nightmare about not being able to escape his destiny. Inga wakes him up and they explore the sound of music coming from behind a bookcase. They find a passageway and follow it to a laboratory and find Igor there and at the far end the original Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory. They open a door and find Frankenstein's notes. The next morning they discuss his notes and note that any experiment would result in increased sizes of all body parts of those experimented on. Dr. Frankenstein steals a body and he and Igor put the body on a table and use electricity to bring The Monster to life, but fail. At dinner, Dr. Frankenstein is still upset about the failure of his experiment. The Monster comes to life and Dr. Frankenstein sets it free from the operating table. Igor lights a cigarette, which causes The Monster to go into a rage and he starts to strangle Dr. Frankenstein. Inga gives The Monster a sedative and Dr. Frankenstein asks Igor about the brain in The Monster. Igor tells him he took the brain of someone named Abby Normal. Frau Blucher finds The Monster and sets him free. Dr. Frankenstein realizes it was Frau Blucher who led them into the laboratory. The Monster breaks out of the castle and runs away. Dr. Frankenstein disguises himself and is able to catch The Monster by attracting him by playing the violin. Dr. Frankenstein decides he is going to tell The Monster he loves him and tells Inga, Igor and Frau Blucher not to open the door to The Monster's cell no matter what. He tells The Monster he is good, not evil and he loves him. During an event at the Bucharest Academy of Science, The Monster becomes enraged and is arrested. Dr. Frankenstein tells Inga he thinks if he can switch some cerebral fluid of The Monster, The Monster would be more sane. Frau Blucher tells Dr. Frankenstein, Elizabeth is arriving at the castle that night. Elizabeth arrives and she wonders what exactly Inga's job is. Dr. Frankenstein plays the violin from the castle to try and attract The Monster, who arrives at the castle and Dr. Frankenstein transfers a portion of his brain to The Monster. Inspector Kemp and the villagers arrive at the castle and break inside and Villager starts to break the lab equipment. The villagers grab Dr. Frankenstein and The Monster, who can now speak, tells them to put Dr. Frankenstein down. The Monster tells Inspector Kemp that since he couldn't instill love into people, that he would instill fear into them. He then tells the villagers of the sacrifice Dr. Frankenstein made and Inspector Kemp offers The Monster his friendship. Later Dr. Frankenstein and Inga get married. In bed Inga, wonders what Dr. Frankenstein got from The Monster during their transference surgery and then discovers Dr. Frankenstein's now larger genitalia.
