After realizing that his castle is understaffed, [[Count Duckula (character)|Count Duckula]] goes to Rent-A-Butler Inc. to look for some new employees for his castle. However, since it transpires that butler and nannies are in high demand and earn very high wages, Duckula decides to sell his last two loyal employees, [[Igor]] and [[Nanny]], to the agency instead.

Without anybody to cook for him or look after him, Duckula accepts an invitation to a dinner hosted by the 'Nouveau Riche' family. It turns out that the Nouveau Riche's house is where Igor and Nanny are now serving. Duckula decides to go disguised as his second cousin, the honorable Lobilia, to avoid being recognized but things do not go according to plan.

== Trivia ==
*'Nouveau riche' is a French term which means 'new rich'. It is a term that was often used in a disrespectful manner to describe people whose wealth and property had been acquired within their own generation, rather than by familial inheritance or through ranks of nobility (like Duckula's aristocratic vampire family).
*Lobilia is taken from the name of the flowering herb, which was named for the Belgian botanist Matthias de Lobel (1538-1616). It was used by the author J. R. R. Tolkien in his novel 'The Lord of the Rings' (1954), Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.
