SYNOPSIS:
Three Victorian men who lead upstanding
and moralistic lives, sneak out to a brothel on the pretext of
conducting charity work. Their pleasure is interrupted by the libertine
Lord Courtley who offers to show them far greater pleasures. He takes
them to an antique shop where he gets them to purchase Dracula’s cape,
signet ring and a vial of his powdered blood. Courtley then conducts a
black mass ceremony in an abandoned church. However, when he asks the
men to drink the blood, they are disgusted. Drinking it himself,
Courtley collapses. The men kick and beat him to death and then flee the
scene. However, Courtley’s spilt blood revives Dracula who swears
vengeance on the other men for killing his disciple. Dracula then
seduces each of the men’s children, making them vampires and turning
them against their fathers.
