Plot Summary

In trying to secure a baseball field for Bowery youngsters to play on, Slip and Sach visit Gravesend Manor, inhabited by a creepy family that desires to use both Slip and Sach, either in whole or in part. The boys aim to secure the usage of their lot, while the Gravesends want their heads for mad science experiments and bodies for feeding (to a carnivorous plant and to a vampire).

Goofs Francine Gravesend is called a vampire(ss), but she's pretty much just a femme fatale. She never drinks anyone's blood (though talks about it), and she's up and about the next morning after the sun rises. She's more a woman with a vampire complex than a member of the undead. See more »
