A Brief Synopsis: A man washes ashore in England after a shipwreck and is found by Mina Van Helsing. The man introduces himself as Count Dracula of Transylvania, and proceeds to integrate himself into the lives of Mina and her friend Lucy Seward. However, when Mina dies and her father, Prof. Van Helsing, attributes her death to a vampire, evidence indicates that Count Dracula is the monster, and Lucy is his next target.
