Igor spends his nights grave robbing and stitching corpses for his master, the brilliant Doctor. He believes their work creating life from dead tissue serves a noble purpose. When angry villagers drive them from town, Igor and the Doctor take shelter at Ravenwald Manor. They share the mansion with Count Dracula and his unhappy wife Cornelia, plus a witch and her cat familiar Grimalkin. Igor suggests the three pairs work together to avoid drawing attention from nearby townspeople. Soon Igor bonds with Cornelia and Grimalkin over their shared frustrations serving demanding masters. The trio uncovers a terrible truth: their masters are collaborating on a scheme to destroy the world. Igor, Cornelia, and Grimalkin must stop both the apocalyptic plot and the suspicious villagers gathering torches and pitchforks. The three servants learn to stand up for themselves and forge their own path forward.
