Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
 

Wilbur Grey and Chick Young are freight handlers that find themselves delivering the remains of Frankenstein's monster and Dracula from Europe to be used in a house of horrors. Dracula awakens and escapes with the Frankenstein monster, who he plans to give a new brain. Larry Talbot (the Wolfman) arrives from London in an attempt to stop Dracula. Dracula's is assisted by Dr. Sandra Mornay in a search for an easily manipulated brain to better control the monster. Dracula and Sandra choose Wilbur for his brain and seek to capture him to perform 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.
