It seems that
Count Dracula (
Bela Lugosi), in league with a beautiful but diabolical lady scientist (
Lenore Aubert), needs a "simple, pliable" brain with which to reactivate Frankenstein's creature (
Glenn Strange). The "ideal" brain belongs to the hapless
Lou Costello, whom the lady doctor woos to gain his confidence and lure him to the operating table.
Lawrence Talbot (
Lon Chaney Jr.), better known as the
Wolf Man, arrives on the scene to warn
Costello and his pal
Bud Abbott of Dracula's nefarious schemes. Throughout the film, the timorous
Costello witnesses the nocturnal rituals of Dracula and the Monster, but can't convince the ever-doubting
Abbott--until the wild climax in Dracula's castle, where the comedians are pursued by all three of the film's monstrosities. As a bonus, the
Invisible Man (voiced by an unbilled
Vincent Price) shows up for "all the excitement."

A monstrously funny thriller.
It's comedy vs. horror as Abbott & Costello are being stalked by the titanic trio of terror. Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and a wickedly seductive woman doctor (Lenore Aubert) plan to put Costello's feeble brain into the body of the Frankenstein Monster (Glenn Strange), and it's up to Abbott and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) to prevent the malevolent King of Vampires from performing the gruesome operation. Listen for Vincent Price's voice in the final scene. It's laughs and chills around every corner.
