...Elvira is the Goth vamp star of a small network B-movie review show. Sick of the lustful advances of the networks executives, and with the promise of her own Las Vegas cabaret act, she tells the head of the TV company where to stick his job, and walks away.
Unfortunately, her agent has left it until now to tell her that Las Vegas want $50,000 to help finance the show otherwise the deals off. Just as she is desperately wondering where she is going to find $50,000 she gets a telegram.
Her aunt Morgana Talbot has recently died and left her an inheritance, but she needs to go to Fallwell, Massachusetts to collect it.
