The film begins with the Munster family making a visit to the wax museum. They take a picture of themselves standing next to their wax replicas. When the family leaves, the statues in the museum (which are actually robots) mysteriously come to life and begin wreaking havoc across the city. Herman Munster and Grandpa (The Munsters) are then arrested for various crimes they did not commit and try to clear their names in time for the Halloween celebration at the Munster home.
