Publisher's Synopsis
A slapstick, anything for a laugh adaptation of a classic of English literature. An English teacher's nightmare as what was originally as blood chilling to 18th century readers is transformed into something like Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello. The Duke of Otranto is determined to have an heir to his castle, but nothing goes right for him. It's a knockabout, slapstick, anything goes, anything for a laugh for the theater of the mind. Lights! Cameras! Action! Laughs!
