Minnie disappears and when Mickey goes to the Bureau of Missing Persons, he finds that more than 50 people have been reported missing. More people are missing the next day.

Mickey and Goofy find that Phantasmo the Sorcerer is sending hypnotic broadcasts over the television ordering people to come to his castle to take part in his experiments.
