==Summary==

== Summary ==

[[Count Duckula]] is eating his breakfast, expecting nothing out of the ordinary when he checks his mail, revealing a ransom note for him saying that the Count has been kidnapped and can be saved if the servants will amass fifty-thousand [[Transylvanian drachmas]] to give to the kidnappers. [[Nanny]] sees the letter and runs off in fear, bleating that Duckula is missing, though Duckula ~~was~~ not. It is then that the kidnappers are shown; they are two inept gentlemen living in [[Transylvania]], one of who mistakenly sent off the letter before capturing the Count.

To correct this, the kidnappers set off to [[Castle Duckula~~|the castle~~]] to try and capture him. To complicate matters even more than they already are, [[Dr. ~~Von Goosewing|~~Von Goosewing]] shows up at the castle, crashing through the roof and landing in a bed, where the kidnappers find him, and think that it is the Count Duckula himself, so they make off with him.

Nanny and [[Igor]] head off in search of the Count with the money in tow, dropping it off at the indicated place, and when Duckula is found, attempt to head off to the kidnappers' home and try to fix this egregious error, not knowing that now that the money has been received, the kidnappers wish to explain that they plan to return the money so as to start the whole kidnapping scam over again. Duckula accepts, realizing that they are fools, and soon makes things miserable for the kidnappers by playing music which they hate on his banjo.
