Synopsis
The cartoon begins when some gangsters are asking directions to an oil refinery. After Herman gives them directions, the gasoline company president is seen tied up in the back of the gangsters' car. Soon after, a messenger bat arrives from Transylvania and the Munsters are informed their cousins Igor and Lucretia are coming to visit them. They go to the airport, where the cousins are found waiting for them on the luggage carousel. Initially Eddie (now a teenager) wants nothing to do with his cousins, at first thinking that they are younger than him, but since they all like playing rock music, they form a band. Herman is annoyed by the music the Mini Munsters play, so they offer to play their music at school. Since Herman had promised to buy Eddie a car, they go buy a used hearse. When Eddie asks if there is enough room in the back of the hearse for their instruments, Herman stretches it out in the back, and assures them there is. They discover that the old hearse is haunted by the funeral director who owned it when he was alive. Grandpa adds an invention that allows for the car to run on music when it runs out of gas. The device becomes popular, and the gangsters who have taken over a gasoline company are infuriated. The gangster boss challenges the Munsters to a race with his sports car, which the Munsters win. It seems the faster Eddie Lucretia and Igor play their music, the faster the hearse travels. When they beat the lead gangster in a race at the park grand prix course, the gangsters capture the Munsters' pet dragon Spot by tricking the family into leaving their house for an award ceremony, which Herman learns was not real. The gangsters then threaten to harm Spot if Grandpa does not destroy his invention. The young Munsters find Spot and thwart the gangsters by getting Spot back.Actors

After a series of murders in San Francisco that all take place inside closets, a reporter and his scientist friend decide to uncover the mystery and save California. The film contains many comical and subtle references to homosexuality. The title references the state of being a closeted gay, the creature's sudden smitteness and affection for the handsome leading man even though there is no other indication that the creature is female, and the film ends with it collapsing and dying while "marching on San Francisco."

After hearing rumors from a TV newscaster (portrayed by Andrew Duncan) that Halloween may end and that he is being blamed, Dracula exclaims, "How dare they suggest such a thing? Halloween is my national holiday!" and he calls the world's most famous monsters—Warren the Werewolf aka Wolf Man (Jack Riley) of Budapest, the Mummy of Egypt (Robert Fitch), Frankenstein's monster (John Schuck), Zabaar the Zombie (Josip Elic) of Haiti, and the Witch - to his castle to make them scary again. Dracula believes that the problem is that the monsters have "exploited their monsterhood" to the point of being funny rather than scary, for example, Frankenstein's monster has let a movie influence him into tapdancing rather than scaring people. As it turns out, the rumor about Halloween coming to an end was started by the Witch herself; sick of jokes about how ugly she is, she no longer wishes to participate, and without her annual ride over the moon, there can be no Halloween. She has prepared a list of demands, which Dracula refuses to meet, so she rides off to her own castle.

The movie opens on what appears to be another average day in Hoagie's Alley (which, for the purposes of this story, has apparently been relocated closer to Beverly Hills) for Top Cat and his gang, who are today posing as Boy Scouts, out doing good deeds in the hopes of getting rewards. During the course of this, Benny the Ball saves the life of a bag lady. Unbeknownst to Benny, it is revealed afterwards that she is actually a rich woman named Gertrude Vandergelt, who plans to leave her fortune to her missing niece, Amy. Meanwhile, Officer Dibble arrives to put an end to T.C.'s shenanigans after an unsuccessful attempt by Brain to wash his police car's windshield. Just when Dibble is about to arrest the gang, though, he gets a call saying that his application for retirement has been approved, so he can now retire from the police force, and thus he drops the charges against T.C. and the gang.

Dans le nid d'une famille de vautours, une maman vautour s'adresse à ses 4 petits afin de ramener de la nourriture. Elle leur assigne à chacun un animal à chasser (successivement un cheval, un bœuf, un élan et une vache). Tous partent sauf le dernier, « Killer » Beaky, qui est un grand timide malhabile et balbutiant. La mère vautour propulse d'un coup de patte hors du nid ce petit un peu immature et l'oblige à ramener au minimum un lapin. Il va prendre alors pour cible Bugs : il fonce sur lui comme un avion. Bugs se fait passer pour la tour de contrôle, mais en le guidant, il le fait s'écraser au sol. Le lapin se présente comme à son habitude et lui demande ce qu'il chasse. Beaky cherche un moment avant de se rappeler que c'est un lapin. Bugs lui demande alors de bien vouloir le laisser se laver avant d'être capturé. Le vautour attend longtemps pendant que Bugs chante dans son terrier. Sentant qu'il se fait avoir, il veut plonger la tête dans le terrier et découvre Bugs déguisé en séduisante dame qui sort de son bain. Le jeune vautour se détourne, rougit de honte. Bugs en profite pour le frapper avec sa serviette de bain enroulée, et se cache derrière un rocher. Alors que le vautour le cherche, Bugs taquine la pomme d'Adam proéminente de Beaky et s'enfuit juste après : d'abord par petits bonds, puis à la manière d'un patineur sur glace. Il ne se rend pas compte au début que Beaky, en vol, l'attrape par les oreilles. Bugs chatouille l'oiseau avec une de ses plumes pour lui faire lâcher prise. Le lapin tombe brutalement derrière un squelette d'animal. D'abord horrifié en voyant son corps sous la forme d'un squelette, il pleure, pense être mort. Cela ne l'empêche pas de faire des apartés avec le public : il s'exclame hors de propos « Horrible, hein ? » puis découvre qu'il est toujours vivant et rit comme un fou avant de confier effrontément au spectateur « J'étais au courant depuis le début ! ». Bugs se fait attraper à nouveau par le vautour. La bataille qui s'ensuit tourne à la danse entre les adversaires, avec Bugs qui reprend son rôle de séductrice. Au cours de la danse, Bugs fait tourner Beaky comme une toupie, toupie qui s'enfonce dans le sol devant le squelette. Beaky prend peur comme Bugs, appelle au secours. La mère vautour arrive à tire-d'aile. Face à l'ardeur meurtrière de la mère, Bugs Buny remet Beaky debout. Voyant que son petit est finalement sauf, elle finit par entourer Bugs de son aile et lui dit « Toi, toi, mon héros », puis l'embrasse d'un baiser passionné d'où apparaît un cœur. Bugs rougit, prend la forme du bec de Beaky et se met à balbutier comme lui.
