The Phantom's plan to blow up the opera house involves the kidnapping of the prima donna of the opera, the great Elvira, along with his assistant Krool. He plans to kidnap and take her to his lair in the sewers so he can force her to sing one of his compositions. When Elvira hits a perfect 'Top C' note while singing his opera, the bomb inside the Phantom's great organ would detonate, thereby obliterating anyone who happens to be inside the opera house at the moment, including [[Count Duckula]], [[Igor]] and [[Nanny]]. | The Phantom's plan to blow up the opera house involves the kidnapping of the prima donna of the opera, the great Elvira, along with his assistant Krool.
