The cartoon begins when some Gangsters are asking directions to a 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 all the way from Transylvania. They go to the airport, where the cousins are found waiting for them on the luggage carousel. Initially Eddie wants nothing to do with his cousins, but since they all like playing Rock music, they form a bond. 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. Which Eddie asks if there is enough room in the back of the hearse for their instruments, Herman stretches 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 the car runs out of Gas, Grandpa's invention allows it to move by the power of music. 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 Munster's 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 Spot if Grandpa doesn't destroy his invention. The young Munsters find Spot and thwart the Gangsters by getting Spot back.
