Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Page #3

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.

the insurance agent. Now get to work!

"He keeps himself alive

by drinking the blood... "

Chick. Chick.

Chick.

Chick. Ch...

Ch-Ch-Chick!

Oh!

Listen, this is getting

to be ridiculous.

What?

Are you trying to tell me

that candle moved?

Candles can't move!

This one did.

Watch it.

Keep your eye on it.

Is it moving?

Huh?

It's not moving, is it?

Not now.

Use your brains a bit.

Let's get this job finished.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

"He keeps himself alive by

drinking the blood of his victims. "

Hmph. "Count Dracula must return

to his coffin before sunrise.

He, he, he...

H-H-He... "

Chick! Chick!

Oh, Chick!

Ha-ha-ha, Chick!

Chick! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, Chick, come on!

Come on!

All right,

I'm comin'.

Come on, will ya! Wait a

minute. What's wrong now?

Oh, Chick!

You gonna tell me that candle

moved again? Yeah, yeah.

I told you not to read this,

didn't I? I can't help it.

"Count Dracula must return

to his coffin before sunrise,

where he lies helpless

during the day. "

That's the bunk! That's what I'm

trying to tell ya. That's his bunk!

Come here.

Don't, Chick. Come here.

Come here! Come around here!

Come over here.

Look in there.

Now,

do you see anything?

No.

Certainly not.

Help me open that crate. Come on. Hmph.

Get with it,

will you please?

You can always...

"Frankenstein's Monster. "

Get a load of this.

"A scientist named Frankenstein

made a monster...

by sewing together parts

of old, dead bodies. "

Do you have to read that stuff? Wait.

"Frankenstein gave the monster eternal

life by shooting it full of electricity.

Some people claim it is not

dead even now, just dormant. "

Now who'd be silly enough

to believe that?

Who would be silly enough

to believe that?

Me.

Open up that crate.

Chick,

did you hear that?

Yeah, I heard you pulling

the nails out. Go ahead.

Pulling the nails?

Chick?

Quiet.

I don't want to hear any more

of your foolish questions.

Come on,

open up the crate.

There we are.

You've got it.

Now get ahold of it.

Throw it

right on the side.

That's it, fine. Come on,

help me with this excelsior.

Take it all out.

Wow! Look out!

Cover it up!

What's the matter? Cover

the whole... Ooh, ooh!

Aw, stop that!

Uh-oh.

Now you did it.

What are you doing in there

with the lights off?

McDougal!

Now we're in trouble.

Hide that head.

Hurry up!

Master.

Yes.

Come. Follow me.

Don't be afraid.

He won't hurt you.

Come!

Hurry up.

Come.

This better be

a good one.

What's the matter, you

afraid of the dark? No.

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

What is this?

McDougal is here. I... What's the

matter with you? Snap out of it.

Where are my bodies?

There were no bodies.
