NARRATOR
On a wild and stormy night in the midst of the Carpathian mountains, a young
Englishman, Jonathan Harker, was hell-bent - in more ways than one - for
the castle of a certain Count Dracula. The Count was anxious to acquire a large
house in England, isolated in grounds surrounded by a high wall, and Jonathan
Harker, a clerk in the solicitors' firm of Please, Knock & Enter of Exeter, had
instructions to sell him one of the decaying piles languishing on their books.
Jonathan's coach from Bistritz was met at the notorious Burgo Pass by a coach­
and-four driven by a tall, sinister black figure, which took him off at a gallop.
It was a not uneventful journey . . .

NARRATOR
The castle seemed uninhabited at first, but the Count soon appeared among the
cobwebs. Jonathan thought he looked rather uninviting: pale, with blood-red eyes,
and with curiously long and pointed eye-teeth. Jonathan had always thought
vampires apain in the neck, but now the dangers he'd been warned about at the
old inn at Bistritz seemed - like the garlic the inn-keeper's wife had given him
for protection - rather too close for comfort.
Although he concluded his business with the Count - flogging him a most
undesirable residence for a disgracefully large sum of money - there were still
many disquieting things about him: the Count never seemed to eat; no reflection
of him was ever seen in a mirror ... and he went very strange at seeing blood
when Jonathan accidentally cut himself shaving.
But it was in the Library of the castle, in an old family album inscribed 'Great
Batmen of the Past', that Jonathan discovered the dreadful truth: Count Dracula
was a VAMPIRE - one of the UNDEAD! No wonder he looked so pale!!

NARRATOR
Meanwhile, back at the life-boat station in Whitby, Mina Murray, Jonathan's
fiancee, was holidaying with her old school chum, Lucy Westenra, together with
(deep breath) ... Lady Westenra, Lord Arthur Godalming, Lucy's fiance, Dr
Seward, director of a nearby private insane asylum, and an American from Texas,
Quincey P. Morris. It was quite a party.
Mina was worried about not hearing from Jonathan for so long, unaware of the
following rather unpleasant facts:
(a) Jonathan had been locked in his room by the Count, who was about to
journey to England with fifty large boxes of smelly topsoil.
(b) Three rather frightening young lady friends of the Count's - also with
funny teeth - had been promised Jonathan by the Count ... for supper.
(c) Jonathan, by means of an amazingly atWetic - and rather improbable
- feat of rock-climbing, had managed to scale the castle wall (downwards)
and enter the Chapel, where he had observed some pretty curious goings­
on involving singing gypsies, the fifty boxes of malodorous mulch, and
Count Dracula taking a nap in a coffin.
(d) The Count had got away, but Jonathan hadn't ... yet.
So, blissfully unaware of the fact that Jonathan's immortal soul was in terrible
danger, Mina worried about more everyday things, as the ladies so often do ...

NARRATOR
The large dog was - of course - Count Dracula in one of his many famous
animal impersonations, and the fifty boxes of niffy humus were to be placed in
various parts of the country so that the Count would have lots of nice little bolt­
holes to sleep in: taking blood from strangers while they sleep can be exhausting
work ... and quite a drain for the victims, too!
As soon as the ship arrived, Lucy Westenra started to act very strangely, sleep­
walking and meeting a sinister cloaked figure in the churchyard. She also took
to entertaining bats in her bedroom at night, wPich her mother, Lady Westenra,
considered most unhygienic. And when two small holes were found in her neck,
clearly not the work of woodworm, Dr Seward (director of the nearby private
insane asylum) decided it was time to call in some expert help. So he sent for his
old tutor (and part-time garlic-grower), Professor Van Helsing, of Amsterdam.
Being a Dutchman, the Professor arrived on his bicycle - and he knew at once
what was afoot . . . or, rather, aneck . . .

NARRATOR
Alas, the Professor did not arrive in time to save poor Lucy Westenra - she had
already become a vampire! So he had to do some rather unspeakable things to
her in the Westenra family tomb at Highgate, aided and abetted by Dr Seward,
who thus claimed the first stake ...
Our intrepid heroes now realized that it was imperative, or - if you prefer it ­
urgent, that they discovered the whereabouts of the fifty boxes of mildewy mould;
once these were destroyed, the Count would have nowhere to rest his weary fangs!
As Quincey so succinctly put it, it would be a case of 'out for the Count'!
Jonathan had turned up - somewhat improbably - in a Belgian hospital,
remembering nothing of his visit to Transylvania, and Mina had nipped across
the Channel and brought him back to England. While she was about it, she had
married him on the way back, just to prevent any more 'naughty trips to the
Continent'. Jonathan turned amateur detective, and started to trace the
whereabouts of the fifty boxes of obnoxious loam, starting his search - fairly
intelligently - at the offices of the mysterious S. J. Billington in Whitby.
Meanwliile, back at the private insane asylum, Dr Seward was having a lot of
trouble with a patient named Renfield, who kept talking about visits at night from
'The Master', and eating funny things ...

NARRATOR
Alas, Renfield died of an acute malfunction of the insides, caused by his eating
a large wire-brush which he mistook for a hedge-hog.
Jonathan tracked down the whereabouts of all fifty boxes of musty alluvium,
and the count - not Dracula - was impressive: twenty-nine at Carfax, the
undesirable residence near Whitby that Jonathan had flogged to the Count on
his ill-fated visit to Transylvania; six up the Mile End Road; six in Bermondsey;
and nine in Piccadilly. They destroyed them all except one in the posh house in
Piccadilly - No. 105, Ithink it was. They left just one untouched ... and Dracula
had to come to it!
So our stalwart band lay in wait for him ... AND THEN HE CAME! (He was
fair worn out, looking for somewhere to rest.) But it was an unfair fight, what
with Jonathan and his pistol, Quincey P. Morris and his Bowie knife (or was it
Quincey P. Bowie and his Morris knife? I'm getting confused by
all this ...) and Professor Van Helsing and the contents of his 'little black bag'.
In a somewhat spectacular - and technicolour - manner, the infamous Count
Dracula d-i-s-i-n-t-e-g-r-a-t-e-d before their very eyes, AND THE VAMPIRE WAS
NO MORE!
So they all sang one of Quincey's saucy American ragtime numbers to
celebrate ...
