Igor recounts the legend of the Mystic Saxophone to Count Duckula in order to educate him about his ancestry. According to Igor, the Mystic Saxophone used to belong to the pharaoh Zutenkamun the seventeenth. The legend says that anyone who plays the Mystic Saxophone holds power over life or death. Count Duckula wants to use the saxophone to become a famous musician but Igor hopes that the saxophone will lead Duckula not to "a life of stardom but to a life of evil". The Crow Brothers overhear Igor and Duckula's plan to find the saxophone and try to foil their search.

Upon finding the pharaoh's tomb, Nanny breaks the vase which concealed the Mystic Saxophone. Duckula is excited about its discovery but Nanny warns him: "I hope you wash that before you put it in your mouth." Paying no heed to Nanny's and Igor's warnings, Duckula starts playing the saxophone. The music awakens the undead, who start to dance along to his music. When Igor reminds Duckula that it's time to return to Transylvania, Duckula is so engrossed with playing the saxophone he does not realize he is being kidnapped by the Crow Brothers.
