One day, after nearly being killed by Nanny delivering a breakfast of "cocoa and choccie biccies", Duckula threatens to give up his title and escape to South America, leading Igor to take him through the picture gallery of the castle to remind of his ancestry.

Count Duckula and his family retainers are coping with the rainy days and Duckula wishes to leave the rain and gloom behind, so Igor suggests that they head to Spain, and visit Don Diego, Duckula's pyromaniac cousin.

On a dark and stormy night, Count Duckula is being read a scary story and soon abandons this little happening to try and fetch himself a snack, while, unbeknown to him, Von Goosewing is in another wing of the castle and is making a monster which he hopes will wipe out Duckula.

Count Duckula and his servants have decided to visit the funfair and soon visit a ride on a roller-coaster which can take them back and forward in time, where they see things such as the first vampire, a future ruled by vegetables, the French Revolution, and trouble hits in the most garish of ways when the conductor of the roller-coaster says that he will leave Duckula and Igor back in time to marry Nanny.

Count Duckula is unhappy with the state of his castle, so he hires an interior decorator called Mr. Roberto to fix it up for him. And by fix it up, he means completely changing it, much to the dismay of Igor and Nanny. This leads to three problems: Mr. Roberto's workmen are incompetent and lazy, Igor and Nanny have gone on strike and Dr. Von Goosewing is up to his usual antics.

Count Duckula has lost the castle somewhere in the Arctic seas and enlists the aid of some piratical penguins with the twisted plot to leave Duckula and his retainers out in the Arctic seas so that they might search for treasure. It works, and the trio is abandoned out on a desolate icy island where Nanny produces piping hot tea which awakens several vikings from being frozen in ice.
