Herman becomes Lord Munster when he inherits an estate from an English uncle. With Spot guarding 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Herman leaves his job at Gateman, Goodbury & Graves Morticians for Munster Hall. He uncovers a counterfeit ring and upholds the family honour driving his Drag-u-la special in the annual road race...

Munster, Go Home is a 1966 movie which was filmed immediately after the TV show had finished. As is usually the case with TV shows of the time that had spin-off movies, the location of the story was changed, in this instance to England, UK.

The film also stars Terry Thomas, who, as ever, plays a bumbling rich English gent.

The comedy is a little obvious and the plot rather cliched, but we're talking about The Munsters here, so fans of the TV show should enjoy this bit of mindless nonsense.
