Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Page #5

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.

You're wasting your time. My

will is as strong as yours.

Are you sure?

Look into my eyes.

Look!

Deeper.

Tell me what you see.

Joan, Chick and I are gonna go into the

lockers and change into our costumes.

Come on, Professor. We'll

meet you on the dance floor.

Okay.

What did I do?

What do you mean?

He's dancing with my girl! So what?

I'll show her!

I'm in love

Aw, come on. Pick up those

bundles! Let's get dressed.

So, it's you!

He knows me!

McDougal! Listen, fat

boy, where are my exhibits?

Leave him alone! Not until he

tells me where those exhibits are.

Where are they?

Where are they?

Aha! McDougal,

now we've got it on you.

You put us in jail. Now we'll have

you arrested for assault and battery.

See what good it'll do ya.

You haven't got a witness.

I'm a witness! My word's as good as yours!

Your word is better than

his. Keep outta this.

I'll get a witness.

Do me a favor.

Will you watch this?

I need a witness.

Go ahead. I'd like to see you do it again.

Did you see it?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't see a thing.

Thank you.

Have you seen Chick Young

or Wilbur Gray?

Seen them?

I don't even know them.

I've got to know

what they found on that island.

Chick! Wilbur! What did

you find? Was I right?

No! And I wish you'd stop trying to

put those ideas in this boy's head.

He's not used to them.

Go put your things on.

Did you meet Dr. Lejos? Yes.

What did he look like? Tall,

aristocratic, a faraway look in his eye?

All I know is he told us to go out

and have some fun. Why don't you?

Can't I convince you that Dracula

is a very dangerous person?

You and Wilbur are just trying

to scare me. Well, it won't work!

I scared ya.

I scared ya, you big

sissy. This is your mask.

No, no, no. Please don't

wear that. What's the matter?

I know you'll think

I'm crazy, but...

in a half an hour the moon will

rise and I'll turn into a wolf.

You and 20 million other guys. Listen!

I might tear you limb

from limb! Is that serious?

He'll murder ya.!

That's serious.

It won't be if you'll just

take me and lock me in my room.

Please.

Oh, all right.

Why don't you hire yourself

a keeper?

Come on.

Hey!

Look.

Oh, Sandra's coming.

Is it all clear?

I will take care of the girl.

And you'll take Wilbur back

to the castle.

Understand?

Yes, master.

Sandra, you look...

So... we meet again,

Count Dracula.

Dracula? Yes. That's who he says you are.

Oh, my costume perhaps. No, Talbot

thinks you're the real thing.

Out of McDougal's

House of Horrors.

What an odd

hallucination.

But the human mind is often

inflamed with strange complexes.

I suggest you consult

your physician, Mr. Talbot.

And take him along with you,

please.

So there you are!

I'm glad to see

you've recovered.

I didn't expect to see you here,

Doctor. Sandra insisted I come.

I need a little relaxation. Miss

Raymond, would you honor me with a dance?

No. No!

I warn you.

He is Count Dracula!

How interesting.

Tell me more.

Let me tell you...

while we dance.

Pardon me, Mr. Talbot.

Sandra, do you feel

all right?

Of course. But I must

obey my doctor's orders.

Oh, sure! You gotta do

what the doctor tells ya.

I intend to.

Let's have a walk, Wilbur.

Toodle-oo.

Professor,

do you understand women?

I don't even try.

I'm gonna get me a drink.

Sit here.

Sandra, there's something strange

about ya. You're not yourself.

Is there anything I can do to help? Yes.

I want you to go away

with me to the island.

Just me and you?

Yes.

I want to be the only one in your

life. I want to be part of you.

I want to be in your blood.

I think I know

what you mean.

Wouldn't you want a prettier fellow

than me? No. I want no one but you.

You are so full-blooded,

so round, so firm.

So fully packed. And I

want to stay that way.

Aah!

Stuck myself.

I'm bleedin'.

Let me see it.

Uh-uh. There ain't enough for the two

of us... if that's what you're thinking.

I'll tell you what I'm

thinking. Look into my eyes.

I'm afraid to. There's

nothing to be afraid of.

Look. Deeper.

Deeper!

Deeper.

I looked deep enough.

I don't wanna look anymore.

Of course you do.

Don't you know what's going

to happen now? I'll bite.

Oh, no... I will!

Wilbur.! Wilbur.!

Joan.!

Joan? There he is.

Wilbur, have you seen Joan?

No, but I have definitely

made up my mind.

You can have Sandra, but make

sure you've got plenty of bandages.

Maybe Dracula lured Joan

into the woods.

Chick, do you know what could happen

if I meet Dracula in the woods?

I'll bite. Oh, no. You gotta stand in line.

Let's not waste any time. Yeah, let's.

Joan? Joan?

Joan!

Chick, we can't find her.

Let's keep on looking. Come on. Joan!

Joan?

Aw, Chick, we're

never gonna find her.

Joan!

Joan?

Joan?

Joan?

Joan.!

Joan.!

Chick? Chick?

Where did he go?

Chick!

I'm gettin' tired

of lookin' forJoan.

Look at him.

Didn't Mr. Talbot tell you

not to put that mask on?

What'd you

put it on for?

Take the mask off!

Come on!

Joan?

Chick, what are you lookin' in there

for? You're not gonna find Joan in there.

Now, come on, get up! Get

up! We gotta find Joan.

Come on, Chick.

Now, take that mask off!

Take it easy.

I'm your friend!

Help.! Help.!

Help.!

The man's been hurt. Looks

like something attacked him.

Get a doctor.

You'll be all right, though another half

inch would have severed your jugular vein.

Get him up.

Who did it? It was

somebody in a wolf's mask.

McDougal,

what happened to you?

You! It was you! He said

he was gonna get me. Me?

That's right. I saw him arguing

with you earlier this evening.

That's ridiculous.

I wouldn't...

People, real live people.

That's a boy. Tell 'em.

Chick, what's the idea of

trying to take a bite out of me?

What's the idea? What, did

he take a bite out of you too?

What's the matter? You gone mad? Wilbur!

Don't let that little fellow

fool you. He's an accomplice.

Me?

Let's call the sheriff.

Chick! Chick!

Oh, Chick!

Chick!

Joan, Joan, come on.

We gotta get outta here.

Joan?

Joan? Don't tell me

you've gone bats too.

Wilbur.! Wilbur.!

Wilbur.!

Chick! Chick!

Chick, Chick.

Quiet. They're after

me. After you? What for?

McDougal was almost killed

last night by either a wolf...

or a man wearing a mask

of a wolf!

It was a wolf.

I'm going to give myself up.

It's the only way to clear you.

Then... you were on the level

about that wolf business?

Yes. I'm going to

surrender. You can't do that!

Dracula's taken Wilbur and Joan

to the island. Are you sure?

I saw what I saw

when I saw it!

Hurry! Follow me!

They may come back.

But Dracula?

Dracula is helpless until after

nightfall. Maybe by then we'll...

Okay. But after what I saw

there'd better not be any maybe.

Sandra. Sandra?

Sandra.!

Junior?

Junior.

Will you help me

get outta here?

Sandra!

Junior.

Shall we begin?

I've been waiting, master.

Sandra? Sandra?

He's growing weaker! Will

he respond to the operation?
