Renfield (Pablo Alvarez Rubio) makes a nighttime business trip to Transylvania to visit Conde Dracula (Carlos Villar). Conde Dracula wishes to purchase some property in England for his move to better conditions for his nocturnal habits, and Renfield makes sure all the boxes are properly packed. Once in London, Renfield takes up residence in an insane asylum where caretaker Dr. Steward (Jose Soriano Viosca) finds more inmates may be on the way. Steward’s daughter (Lupita Tovar) seems another on the way to madness. Prof. Van Helsing (Eduardo Arozamena) takes up the case when it becomes apparent the occult is at work. Soon he is onto Conde Dracula's quest for blood.
