[[Count Duckula|Duckula]] is sitting alone in [[Castle Duckula|the castle]] waiting for [[Nanny|Nanny's]] favourite TV show "Super Duper Double Drachma Deal" to start. He starts calling for Nanny so he can use her as an excuse for watching the show himself as he does not want to be caught by [[Igor]] watching it on his own. When Igor comes instead he moans that Duckula would rather watch television, which he describes as "infantile rubbish", than stalk the castle ramparts as is custom on a Tuesday evening. However, Nanny doesn't appear and it turns out that she was on the show the whole time. Somehow Nanny blunders through winning a cruise for three aboard the luxury liner, the "[[ The Transylvania Tania|S.S. Transylvaniatania]]". She would like to take her sister and her niece Primrose, but ends up with Duckula and Igor accompanying her. After various mishaps involving Duckula opening the cabin porthole and Nanny taking a turn at steering the ship which was part of her prize, the party come down for breakfast the next day and find the ship apparently deserted.
