PEGGY SUE: They arrive at a magic bookstore, only to discover it is filled with man-eating monsters. At the last moment, they flee the store on the fly, only to be taken to a black castle by the monsters that escaped from the book. The black castle is enormous, and no one knows what lies within. It is home to a skeleton doctor, who has never been seen but is known to heal any injury. In reality, the black castle is a fierce alien monster that was damaged when it collided with a meteorite many years ago while flying over Earth. The skeleton doctor is a robot designed by aliens to handle emergencies, capable of healing any alien wound in a matter of seconds. In fact, it has already begun treating the black castle, aiming to replace all the concrete structures with muscle and ultimately turn the castle into a living creature. They must destroy it before it fully awakens, or it will be too late.
PEGGY SUE AND COMPANY: Determined to brave the black castle, Peggy Sue and her companions embark on a terrifying and thrilling adventure.
