That was close!

No! No! It can't be!

Were these singing lessons your idea? The girl has talent, doesn't she?

Smashing talent. These lessons are costing a fortune.

One, two, three precious porcelain cups.

We got lucky!

Bravo!

Excellent!

Encore!

I do apologize, but we're going to have to suspend these singing lessons.

I've just received a cablegram from Transylvania. From Dr. Patok.

What does it say?

Dear friend, incredible and unnerving events are troubling our town.

Devilish creatures and ghosts are lurking inside Baron de Gort's dismal

castle. Please come quickly.

Devilish creatures?

Ghosts?

Transylvania? That's right. We're going to Transylvania. Hooray!

But we can't afford to. We must go.

I am convinced there is an explanation for these so-called supernatural

phenomena.

It'll make for an excellent and profitable article for Comte de Voyage.

But it's a long trip.

Yes, but Amelie's singing will make it all the more enjoyable.

Of course.

my voice here Emily this is the last mint if you want it

Welcome, my friends.

Paddock, it's nice to see you again.

I'd like to introduce you to... Oh, no!

Not again!

Someone's in trouble!

As a gentleman, I insist.

Ladies first.

Jewel! Jewel!

Jewel! Jewel!

Jewel!

Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel! Jewel!

Jewel! Jewel! Jewel!

Jewel!

Jewel And yet they've been terrorizing all the young girls in town for weeks.

And then they fly back towards the castle.

Look!

I thought I had killed it. And then that headless suit of armor got back up and I

fled. I should have taken it on.

Do you think Baron de Gauss is behind all this?

I'm absolutely certain.

Believe me, I'm absolutely certain.

The gods became another man when the Baroness died, and strange things have

been happening in town ever since.

Like what?

At first there were only unsettling sounds, strange lights, shadows in the

night. And then?

Then those horrible bats began attacking the ladies in town.

I had the feeling they weren't really attacking.

It's as if they were searching for something. But what?

There must be an explanation.

Tomorrow we are going to the castle to investigate.

Huh?

Emily?

Do you have some water? I'm thirsty.

Jules, what do you want?

I heard such magnificent singing, and I couldn't believe it was you.

You don't think I have a beautiful voice, Jules?

No, I mean, yes.

I mean, forgive me, Amelie, but usually you sing like a duck caught between the

jaws of a wolf.

What you were hoping for?

I couldn't stand those tedious music lessons.

I thought if I sang badly enough, Esther would stop having that boresome teacher

come around.

Dellen, we sure would be happy after everything you broke with those high

-pitched vocals.

Speaking of which, do you hear that weird screeching sound?

It's one of the bats!

Darn. Watch out!

Jules, what's going on?

Who was that?

I don't know, but we need to find out.

Absolutely perfect.

The Baron will be pleased.

This is the Castle de Gods.

Now that we've seen the castle, we can go back to the peace and calm of Paris,

right?

Monsieur Delannoye, you wouldn't be afraid, would you?

Who, me?

Positively not.

Why should I be afraid of an evil, demon-infested castle? Well then, be a

gentleman and accompany me inside.

Of course.

At least anyone think I'm not a gentleman.

Good morning. May I help you? Good morning. I am Artemis Lucas and these

are my assistants.

We would very much like to speak to Baron de Gortz. He's... To what do I owe

this honor?

Please, come in.

What can I do for you?

I am a scholar of myths and legends.

As you certainly know, there are many about you and this castle.

Really? What do they say?

They say the castle is haunted by spirits and ghosts.

You astound me.

You still believe in ghosts at your age?

Of course not.

But I do hope to write a fantastic article about you for one of the most

prestigious magazines in France.

Well then.

If you would like to stay for lunch, I will show you something extraordinary.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to take part in an astonishing lunch?

Roscoe, please serve our guests.

What is all this?

This is incredible!

Bon appétit, everyone.

My compliments to you, Baron.

In my whole life, I have never seen anything like this before.

Me neither.

Me neither.

Monsieur Delanoui, don't be so impolite.

I'm glad you liked it. I profoundly believe in technological progress.

One day we will no longer need maids, cooks, accountants.

The prospect sounds rather grim.

It certainly does.

You seem more open-minded.

One day science will have an answer for everything.

Like, for example, the presence of spirits and living suits of armor.

My castle is full of suits of armor. It seems that you are highly suggestible.

Roscoe, that's enough.

Quite impressive.

But how do you do it? Through an image projector.

By playing with lights and lenses, you can recreate almost anything.

That would explain many things.

And what do you think? I still haven't heard your voice.

I'm not all that interested in technology, but I would like to know how

many rooms are in this castle.

Are there any secret rooms?

And most of all, I'd like to know about you, Baron.

Barret?

Hey you!

What are you doing?

Get her out of there!

Forgive me. It's a valuable

vase. I'm very possessive over my things.

I think we have imposed upon your hospitality long enough.

My castle is always open to you.

I

think

I know how he controls those bats.

Emily!

Amelie!

What is that?

I knew I wasn't going mad!

Amelie!

Baron de Gort is behind all this! I knew it! To the castle! At once!

Just as well the Baron said the castle would always be open for us.

Who are coming, Emily?

Everything is ready, Baron.

What do you want from me?

I've spent years trying to make a robot identical to my beloved wife.

But there's been one small thing I've never been able to create.

Her beautiful voice.

But then you arrived with that sweet voice of yours.

Identical to my dear wife's.

Dad!

Jules! Emily!

It's the Headless Demon.

Artemis!

Which one could it be?

Let's try all of them.

My sweet Amelie.

I'll show you your sweet Amelie if you don't free me right away!

As soon as I have your voice, she will come back alive.

Just like before.

Once again at my side.

You are mad!

You are mad!

You are mad!

Virginia!

Are you okay? Yes, yes.

Good shot, son.

Now we need to figure out how to get to Amelie. There must be a secret passage.

This castle is full of strange contraptions.

The Baron didn't want Sophia anywhere near here.

There's nothing under here.

It's only a base for this dumb vase.

Let's go we've got no time to wait We'll take

care of that monster you worry about saving my daughter

Well

look at all these sweet little mechanical beasts, let's try not to

disturb them

Now you've got it in for me, huh?

Jules! Emily!

You! What are you doing here?

We're not finished yet!

You heard the Baron! We haven't finished yet! Don't bother us!

Get out of here! What? My sweet Virginia.

It's too late!

I can't leave her.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

It's about to blow!

To the stairs!

Hurry! We can't. There are no more stairs.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

I have an idea.

Emily, toss me that arm, quickly!

Or should I say, give me a hand?

Emily, jump onto the grating and hold on tight.

Baron, we need to get out of here. Please, leave me here with my wife.

I'm not leaving you here to die in the shards of your madness.

Hold on!

No! What happened?

Nothing. Nothing that I can fix this time.

No!

Are

you

okay, sweetheart?

I'm fine.

Don't think a simple I'm sorry is going to get you out of this one dad.

He didn't hurt me. He only frightened me He's not a mean man, but he kidnapped

you yeah, I know His grief impaired his senses, but he only wanted me to sing

for him Burn all the technology and science in the world cannot bring back

a loved one My daughter's voice will never be able to give you back your

wife's soul.

I'm sorry I didn't realize that in my attempt to give my wife her life back, I

stopped living myself.

We didn't want to hurt anyone.

I am positive that your scientific knowledge will be of great use to this

town.

I woke up and no one was there!

I've been on pins and needles!

We're not responsible for paying for this mess, right?

Monsieur Artemis?

Yes, Jules?

I've just finished writing a story about our most recent adventure.

Seeing that everyone else is in the other room, could I read it to you

quickly? Fire away.

Really? You aren't the type to kid with anyone.

In fact, I'm not kidding.

Go on, read it.

Thank you.

I know you'll like it. It's called The Castle of... Who's that singing so

beautifully? But, monsieur, my story?

Of course.

Later.

What's going on here?

Who is singing?

What is this?

It's a phonograph.

It reproduces sounds.

It's from Transylvania.

A gift from me with many apologies.

Lovely, but useless.

No one will ever spend a penny on a piece of iron that sings.

But this will save us money. No more broken glass or cups.

You're right!
