the sequence begins on a sunny day where a bird is minding his own business when the sun behind him sinks and the crescent moon rises in its place, starting night. the bird becomes alarmed and speeds away. zooming out, the camera reveals the setting of a graveyard where professor abronsius and alfred bump into each other. the two shake hands and a green vampire pops out from a grave behind them. after the successful scare, the vampire laughs as the camera zooms in on him. this process is repeated twice. a bag falls from the sky; abronsius reaches in and takes out a box containing garlic, which he and alfred eat. they sneak up to the vampire (who has no idea where they are), tap his shoulder and breathe garlic breath on him, causing him to shrink and run off. the bag drops to them again and alfred brings out a gold crucifix and gives it to abronsius. they sneak up on the now plugged-nose vampire, show him the crucifix, and again he shrinks and run off. he hides behind the tree and tries to scare them again, but the sun replaces the moon, signaling the vampire to run, and abronsius and alfred chase him to a coffin. the bag appears one last time and abronsius takes out a mallet and a wooden stake. with alfred's help he kills the vampire, then places the lid on the coffin. in the pitch-black backdrop professor abronsius and alfred congratulate each other until the mgm logo appears, startling them. the lion in the logo roars as its fangs grow longer. frightened, abronsius and alfred run away, and blood drips out of the lion's mouth.
