Summary
Count Duckula decides to go on a holiday to a hotel called Hardluck Hotel, though when he arrives, nothing is even close to his liking. The hotel itself is in terrible disrepair, the service is bad, and everything is rank and fetid.
To end this torment, Duckula goes straight to the hotel manager to check out, but as luck would have it, it has only just been revealed in the papers that Transylvanian drachmas (Duckula's currency) are now deemed worthless in the current market. Faced with this dilemma of not having one red cent to pay for his considerably short stay, Duckula is then forced to work as a hotel employee to pay off his debt.
To make matters the worst possible for this unfortunate Count, his servants, Nanny and Igor stop at this hotel for a vacation, and, not knowing that Duckula is himself, and not the staff, see fit to order the hapless young duck around and around. Change, however, may be on its way for the Count.
Trivia
The hotel manager is based upon the legendary British TV character Basil Fawlty, from Fawlty Towers. Fawlty, played by John Cleese, was also a hotel manager who was notorious for being rude to his own guests.
