[[Count Duckula]], "the last in a long line of vampire barons", has been going through a rough patch. While awaiting his breakfast of "hot cocoa and chocky bickies", [[Nanny]]'s tomfoolery nearly kills Duckula and he decides that he has had enough. He wants to give up his title and run away to South America. In order to remind him of his proud heritage, [[Igor]] takes him through the castle's picture gallery to show him some of his noble ancestors. While being lectured about the pictures, Duckula asks Igor about his great-uncle's great-uncle, the [[Archduck McGanza]]. Igor explains McGanza's lifelong ambition to find the [[The Mystic Saxophone|"Mystic Saxophone"]], an instrument known to give anyone who plays it the power over life and death. This excites Duckula, who wants to find the saxophone himself, thus fulfilling Archduck McGanza's legacy. | [[Count Duckula]], "the last in a long line of vampire barons", has been going through a rough patch.

Duckula, Nanny, and Igor set off to Egypt to find the saxophone using the castle's teleporter. [[The Crow Brothers]], who were overhearing Igor's story about the legend of the Mystic Saxophone earlier, are unwittingly tagged along with them. The two parties set off to find the saxophone and a lot of trouble ensues. | Duckula, Nanny, and Igor set off to Egypt to find the saxophone using the castle's teleporter.
