SYNOPSYS:
Marianne Danielle, a young schoolteacher
on her way to take up a position in Transylvania, is abandoned in a
village by her coach driver. She ignores the warnings of the locals and
accepts an offer from the Baroness Meinster to spend the night at her
castle. At the castle, she meets The Baroness’s handsome son whom the
Baroness keeps chained up. He tells Marianne how the Baroness has
usurped his rightful lands and pleads with her to free him. She does so,
unaware that he is a vampire. Meinster then proceeds to vampirize his
mother and comes after Marianne as she journeys on to her school.
Luckily for her, Dr Van Helsing is in the area, hunting down the
disciples of Dracula.
