OVERVIEW

Count Dracula is dead, but his disciples live on to spread their evil virus.

Marianne Danielle, a student teacher travelling to a ladies academy at Bachstadt, has to make an unexpected stop at a village. When the coach leaves without her, she has to find a lodging for the night. Finding the inn full, she is offered a room for the night at Baroness Von Meinster's castle.

After Marianne accepts the Baroness's hospitality, she goes to the castle and while preparing for dinner, she sees a handsome man through her window on a balcony below. At dinner Marianne asks the Baroness who the man is, and she tells her that it is her son and that he suffers from a certain illness. Later that night Marianne again looks out of her window, and this time sees that the man looks as though he is about to kill himself. Going down to see the man, she is horrified to see that he is imprisoned by an anklechain. The man tells her that the key is in the baroness's room. After obtaining the key, she throws it to the man.

The next day she finds herself lying in a forest, and by sheer fortune is discovered by none other than Professor Van Helsing, the great vampire hunter. Van Helsing immediately recognises the danger facing Marianne, and only he can tackle the great evil facing them.
