His daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) recognizes how tired and lonely her father is and takes it upon herself to both give him both a vacation and a chance at finding love.

She convinces Dracula to accompany her and the rest of their monster family on a luxury cruise so he can take a break from making everyone else’s vacations so perfect and take one himself for once. Although he’s initially reluctant, Dracula eventually agrees.

The group indulges in all the amenities and activities the luxurious ship has to offer.

In 1851, gunslinger brothers Eli (John C. Reilly) and Charlie (Joaquin Phoenix) Sisters work for a man they refer to as The Commodore, who hires them as assassins.

Slight of stature but intelligent, Warm has a chemical formula he's come up with that will show where gold is, making it much easier to find. The Commodore wants the men to get the specifics of the solution so he can use it himself, at which point the Sisters brothers are supposed to kill Warm.

However, Morris doesn't stick to the plan, and Eli has his share of troubles keeping his violent, alcoholic younger brother in line. The Sisters brothers run into a variety of problems along the way, including a bear who attacks Eli's horse and a corrupt woman named Mayfield (Rebecca Root), who has an entire town under her thumb.
