Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Page #6

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.

If the generators are kept

going. We must start immediately.

I'll get rid of Stevens,

and you'll take care of him.

Sandra, what are you

gonna do?

Don't worry. I'm not going

to hurt you. Thank you.

Soon, instead of being

short and chubby,

you'll be big and tall

and as strong as an ox.

And furthermore, you'll live

forever and never grow old.

Oh, Sandra,

you still love me.

But, Sandra, how are you gonna do all

these things? By a simple operation.

I shall remove your brain

and put it in his body.

You're gonna take my brain and

put it in Junior's body? Yes.

Ha-ha! For a minute, I didn't

know how you were gonna do it!

Agh!

Good evening, Professor.

Is everything under control?

Everything but my temper.

I found Miss Raymond

in Dr. Mornay's room.

You should mind

your own business, Professor.

I also found this, which

is very much my business.

And after I've taken Joan

back to town, I'm...

Hmm. Excellent.

Let's take him to the cellar. We can

dispose of all the bodies at the same time.

Well, there's the boat.

Let's look around.

Hey, that must be

the entrance to the castle.

Come on.

Come.

Lie down... here.

Yes... master.

Frankie, don't let 'em

do it to ya.

Frankie boy.

Listen to me, Frankie.

Don't let 'em

do it to ya!

Frankie. Frankie! I'm

tellin' ya, it's a bad deal.

I've had this brain for 30 years

and it hasn't worked right yet.

Ask me how much one and one

is, Frankie. Go ahead, ask me.

I don't know.

We'll be right back, Wilbur.

Okay, I'll wait.

Chick! Dracula is Dracula! Wilbur!

Sandra's gonna use my brain to make

a bigger dummy out of the other dummy.

I'll get you out of this.

No kiddin'! Hurry up.

All right.

Atta boy.

Does it hurt? No, no. Go

ahead, a little harder.

What's the matter? All right,

I'm doing the best I can!

Wait a minute.

Oh, pardon me, I'm sorry.

There you are. Now, get

outta here. Go ahead.

Hey, not that way.

To the left!

Get him out.

Get him out!

No door. No door? Come on, get outta here!

Take it easy,

you'll be all right.

We gotta get back to the

castle. Joan's in there. Come on.

Come on, Wilbur. Not me.

I'm not goin' back in there.

I've got too much

of what they want: brains.

Get the motor started in

the boat. Hurry up. Okay.

They've escaped!

You attend to the monster. I

can handle our fat friend. Come.

Wilbur.

Come back.

Come.

I said... come back!

Come!

Wilbur! We're all set.

You got the boat...

Wilbur!

He's not here!

Now where'd he go?

Look!

They started the operation.

They must've found him.

We've gotta go back.

You stay here with Joan.

Please...

give me a little ether.

We don't need it.

You won't feel a thing.

Oh, boy,

am I glad to see you!

Get me off here.

What are you lookin'out the window

for? Somebody else comin'after me?

Hmm?

Hey!

Chick, help! Please!

Chick.!

Chick! Chick!

Oh, Chick!

Aah, Chick.!

Chick!

Aah!

Back.

Back!

Chick!

Come on!

Chick, do you believe me now? Yes.

Hurry up.

Let's barricade the door.

Get it over there.

Okay, come on.

There.

Put your shoulder to

the door. Hold it tight.

We barricaded it.

He can't get in here!

Come on, Wilbur!

Come on!

Help!

Back.

Back.

Back.

Yes... master.

He thinks I'm Dracula.

Whew!

Well, we got him!

Joan! Joan!

Are you all right?

Mm-hmm.

I gotcha. You're just the one we're

lookin' for. Still want your exhibits?

Of course I do. Here comes one of'em now!

Aah!

Chick!

Come on, Wilbur!

Fill that bucket

with gas.

Untie the boat.

Untie the boat!

Untie the boat,

will ya?

Untie the boat,

will ya please?

Okay!

He won't chase us anymore.

And another thing.

The next time I tell you that

I saw something when I saw it,

you believe me that I saw it! Oh, relax.

Now that we've seen the last of

Dracula, the Wolfman and the Monster,

there's nobody

to frighten us anymore.

That's too bad. I was hoping

to get in on the excitement.

Who said that? Allow me to introduce

myself. I'm the Invisible Man.
