The parents of the boy welcome the fact that their baby, Dennis is a human with no extraordinary powers like those from Mavis’ side of the family. Because Dennis does not exhibit any monster-like tendencies, Mavis starts considering moving to the human world and living with Jonathan’s parents in California. Mavis is astounded by the human world and the idea of living with humans.
However, Dracula is adamant to prove that Dennis is a vampire in order for his family to stay with him at the hotel. A hilarious adventure ensues as Dracula and his crew takes Dennis on a short trip during the night to try to show Dennis how to be scary.
