Round after round of George vs. Martha actively involves Nick and Honey, a young married couple who spend the entire evening entertained by their baffling hosts. They are introduced to such favorite American pastimes as "Get the Guests" and "Hump the Hostess". Honey hasn't the stomach for the escapades and finally curls up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor.

He is greeted by Igor (Marty Feldman), a hunchbacked servant with a movable hump and askew eyes, and conducted to mist-shrouded Castle Frankenstein. Soon he stumbles on Victor's secret experimental notes, bound in handsome leather and stamped HOW I DID IT. "What a fruitcake!" young Frankstein cries out in disbelief.
