action

Renfield, an English realtor travels to Transylvania to close a real estate deal with the withdrawn Count Dracula.

The host of a rest stop where his carriage stops is visibly shocked when he tells him about his planned visit to Dracula Castle . He and the other locals warn Renfield that vampires bypass the ruined walls and suck the blood of the living at night. However, Renfield is not impressed and sets off for Borgo Pass , where the Count's black carriage is already waiting for him. During the restless drive over rarely used scree roads next to yawning chasms, Renfield notices that the coachman has disappeared and instead a bat hovers over the driver's seat. When he arrives at the old castle, he is invited in by a charming gentleman in elegant evening wear. Renfield is anesthetized with a sleeping pill at dinner, and Count Dracula's three brides soon rush into his room. As a slave to Dracula, Renfield begins the journey home and with him the Prince of Vampires, who thinks he has found a new home in England .

In London , from his new domicile, Carfax Abbey , Dracula is soon wreaking havoc in the capital's upper class. Here he has it first on Lucy Weston, the friend of Dr. Apart from Seward's daughter Mina, who also becomes his first victim. Lucy is visibly ailing. Dr. Seward, Dracula's neighbor and head of the local insane asylum, where the maddened Renfield was also taken, can no longer help himself and asks the famous Professor Dr. Enrico Valenzi for assistance.

He soon suspects the mysterious Count Dracula to be the originator of the evil. Valenzi reveals with a ruse that Dracula has no reflection and exposes him as a vampire. But while the professor, Dr. Seward and Mina's fiancé Johnathan Harker advise how to get rid of the centuries-old monster, who has already brought the young woman under his spell and kidnaps her to Carfax Abbey .

As the dawn is already breaking, Dracula has to retreat into his coffin. Valenzi uses this opportunity and destroys the vampire by driving a wooden stake through his heart and thereby saving Mina.
