Plot
A young boy named Cooper Chance and his girlfriend/sister Amber are seen searching frantically for civilization since they took a wrong turn as opposed to the map. Then, a storm begins and both are forced to seek shelter in a mansion nearby. Once there, Cooper looks at the map again - but he's unaware that someone is watching them. Baron von Ghoul looks down from his window and orders his two gargoyles to retrieve them for him. Amber gets kidnapped and gets sent to the Ghouly Mansion. Cooper then runs after the gargoyles that have kidnapped her and enters the mansion. There, he realizes that Amber is now nowhere to be seen in the Grand Hallway but he meets the mansion's butler, Crivens. He tells him to go to the Archives where Amber is held. While going there, a huge group of boxing skeletons challenge Cooper to a boxing match. Cooper punches all of them and is victorious. Cooper goes there but finds out that a mad scientist is present, Dr. Krackpot. He then shoots Amber with his laser gun and she transforms into a horrible creature.
Cooper runs for help and goes into the kitchen. Ma Soupswill is delighted to help but Cooper must retrieve the 3 ingredients: Glowing worms, dungweed, and an Egg. After that, Ma Soupswill creates a potion to reverse the effects on Amber. However, she accidentally puts the wrong sauce and this transforms Amber into a hideous monster. Cooper defeats Ghouly Amber and Ma Soupswill arrives with the correct sauce and Amber is subsequently turned back to her normal self. Then, Cooper and Amber attempt to escape the mansion but are stopped by Mr. Ribs (Ma Soupswil's assistant). He tells them to help free the other poor kids who are chained all over the mansion. Cooper goes to Crivens and he tells him that only the Baron has the key to free them. In order to get to his room, Cooper must get the 3 pieces of a rhyme which opens the door to the Baron's room. Once there, a battle ensues and Cooper emerges victorious.
Then, he goes on with Mr. Ribs to free the kids and they finally reach the exit of the mansion. There imps knock Cooper and Mr. Ribs out but Ma Soupswill drops in and defeats them. (Note: This only happens if the player frees all of the kids before the timer runs out. If it does, Cooper and Amber will still leave. The player doesn't get to play as Ma Soupswill or kill all of the imps, though). Cooper gains consciousness and he and Amber leave the mansion despite the workers preferring to stay. As both walk towards a small town, the Baron can be seen riding on his plane towards it.
