At a Dracula film fest, mayoral hopeful Sidney Ladacur overhears Fred talking about the gang's experiences with phony ghosts. Ladacur approaches them after the film and enlists them to help with his ghost problem -- he's being threatened by someone claiming to be the Ghost of Dracula. Ladacur is, in fact, the great-great-grand nephew of Vlad Dracula, and the people behind the threats have vowed to make this public.
