== Summary == | |||
[[Dr. Von Goosewing]] is shown brooding as usual that he cannot capture [[Count Duckula]] as he wishes, but soon has an idea to capture him and end him for good: Von Goosewing plans to shrink [[Castle Duckula]] so as to put its and its inhabitants in a snow-globe, where they will be no danger to anyone, (thought they were not to begin with). | |||
With this new plot in mind, Von Goosewing works hard constantly (for years) building a machine that can shrink the castle itself to a snow-globe size, though he inevitably drops it off the edge of a cliff, where it rolls into a gift shop, and is put on the shelf with other globes. Von Goosewing does not know which one could contain the real Castle and so he left with the forced choice of having to buy them all so as to crack them all open. | With this new plot in mind, Von Goosewing works hard constantly (for years) building a machine that can shrink the castle itself to a snow-globe size, though he inevitably drops it off the edge of a cliff, where it rolls into a gift shop, and is put on the shelf with other globes.

When Count Duckula realizes what has happened, he begins to panic; what will happen to him if he is tiny forever? And so he, [[Igor]], and [[Nanny]] head off to the shrink ray to try and reverse the effect, though they are saved the trouble when they realize that they can simply find the ray and reverse it. Von Goosewing, however, being a dim bulb, realizes that now his quarry has escaped him, and thus shrinks himself down to size so as to look for Duckula, but as he is small, sees that the effect projected by the machine does not last long. | When Count Duckula realizes what has happened, he begins to panic; what will happen to him if he is tiny forever?
