Synopsis:
Vampire Count Fritz Fangful and his devoted assistant, Igor, have lived comfortably in the cellar of Rattrap Manor awaiting the perfect beauty whose blood will enable Fangful to live forever. When winsome Greta Belleneck arrives at the manor (her legacy from a long-lost uncle), Aunt Chatterbit warns her to leave the crumbling old building at once! But Greta decides the rambling old mansion will make a perfect hotel where travelers can rest their weary bones. Vampire Fangful couldn’t agree more and when the lovely Greta appears, Fangful realizes that she is the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, his first romantic rendezvous with Greta goes awry when Fangful mistakenly turns Aunt Chatterbit into his blushing vampire bride! Greta, meanwhile, falls hook, line and plunger for Able Abe, the handsome handy-man she’s hired to help refurbish Rattrap Manor. Count Fangful finds it harder to get rid of Able Abe than a bad leak. Eventually, he tricks Abe into thinking Mongolian sheepherders have absconded with Greta. True to form, this melodrama ends with one happy hotel owner and one very sad vampire!
