At the beginning of the episode, [[Igor]], Duckula's butler, expresses his opinion that a place such as Castle Duckula should not be open to paying customers. Near the end of the tour, Igor decides to take the tourists to the "gym and sauna", which later turns out to be the castle's torture chamber. At the end of the episode, all of the tourists demand their money back from Duckula, who says that they are in an even worse financial state than when they started. | At the beginning of the episode, [[Igor]], Duckula's butler, expresses his opinion that a place such as Castle Duckula should not be open to paying customers.
