Dracula arrives in Victorian London in the 1890s disguised as American entrepreneur Alexander Grayson. He claims that he wants to bring modern science to society. In reality, Dracula wants revenge on all those who betrayed him centuries ago. Just as Dracula is about to realize his plans, he meets the medical student Mina Murray, whom he sees as the reincarnation of his late wife Ilona. He falls hopelessly in love with her, even though she is engaged to journalist Jonathan Harker.

Dracula works with Professor Abraham Van Helsing to fight the secret organization The Order of the Dragon . This organization cursed Dracula years ago and turned him into a vampire.
