The synopsis goes something like this ...
The mysterious figure known as the Vampire (Lugosi) comes to England to complete experiments in his mad bid to gain control of the world. When the radar-controlled Robot which he had ordered shipped to him is delivered instead to Mother Riley (Lucan), the Vampire, through radar control, has the Robot transport itself, as well as Mother Riley, to the proper destination. The old lady goes into a whirl of side-splitting action in a determined effort to frustrate the plans of the sinister Vampire.

Something to sink your teeth into ...
Part of Lucan's Mother Riley series of films, it was originally called Mother Riley Meets the Vampire but was changed in 1963 to cash in on the success of Allan Sherman's My Son The Folksinger. Somehow I don't think there would have been a lot of 'cashing in' though, even with the iconic Lugosi back in familiar garb.
