Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Page #2

Synopsis: The world of freight handlers Wilbur Grey and Chick Young is turned upside down when the remains of Frankenstein's monster and Dracula arrive from Europe to be used in a house of horrors. Dracula awakens and escapes with the weakened monster, who he plans to re-energize with a new brain. Larry Talbot (the Wolfman) arrives from London in an attempt to thwart Dracula. Dracula's reluctant aide is the beautiful Dr. Sandra Mornay. Her reluctance is dispatched by Dracula's bite. Dracula and Sandra abduct Wilbur for his brain and recharge the monster in preparation for the operation. Chick and Talbot attempt to find and free Wilbur, but when the full moon rises all hell breaks loose with the Wolfman, Dracula, and Frankenstein all running rampant.

Get ahold of the box.

Go ahead.

Come on,

swing it around.

Help a little bit.!

Oh!

Ah, ah!

You fraidy-cat. These things can't

harm ya. They're made out of wax.

People pay McDougal cash to

come in here and get scared.

I'm cheatin' him. I'm

gettin' scared for nothin'.

Go ahead and push.

Don't knock anything over.

There we are. Now we get the

dolly out from underneath there.

Lift up that end.

Lift it up!

Come on, come on.

There you are.

Put it down, put it down.

Do I have to do all the work?

I'll get it down.

Put it down.

Go ahead.

Now open it up.

I'm going out and get the

other crate. And no back talk!

I've got just two words to

say to you. What is that?

Hurry back.

Aah!

Hello?

Yes, Mr. McDougal.

Yeah, the crates are here.

Wilbur's opening one now.

Mm-hmm.

Everything's all right.

Okay, Mr. McDougal.

Good-bye.

Chick?

Oh, Chi... ick!

What's the matter?

Did you turn out the light? Certainly not.

They're out.

So what?

Maybe the lightning

struck the power line.

I get in more messes around

here. Take off that canvas.

Take it off?

Take it off!

Hey, a coffin!

C-Coffin.

Dracula crest.

Dracula's crest.

I wonder if Mr. McDougal expects people

to think that Dracula's really in there.

No, don't.

Please don't.

Oh, now come, come. Dracula

was just a legendary character.

He never existed. Certainly not. No?

Fold up this canvas. I'm going

out and get the other crate.

If you want me, just holler

"Oh, Chick!" You understand?

Oh, Chick!

What?

What kept you?

I haven't left yet.

The next time, don't take so

long. Fold this up. Get busy.

"Count Dracula sleeps

in this coffin...

but rises every night

at sunset. "

Chick is right.

This is silly stuff.

"Dracula... "

Chick! Chi... ick!

What's the matter? You know that

person you said there's no such person?

I think he's in there... in person. I was

reading this sign, "Dracula's Legend. "

All of a sudden I heard...

That's the wind.

It should get oiled.

Stop reading this. That's a lot of

baloney to fool McDougal's customers.

Fold up that canvas.

Get busy. Come on.

"Dracula can change himself

at will into a vampire bat,

flying about

the countryside. "

Flying.

Ooh-ooh-ooh!

Chick!

Chick.!

You're making enough noise

to wake up the dead!

I don't have to wake him up.

He's up. I saw a hand.

You saw a hand? Where? Right over there.

Let me see it.

Where is it?

I saw a hand there! You don't

know what you're talking about!

You're excited reading

this legend. Listen, Wilbur.

I know there's no such person as Dracula.

You know there's no such person as Dracula!

But does Dracula know it? Listen to me.

McDougal will be here any minute with
