A young party traveling to the Carpathian Mountains receives a strange warning from Father Sandor, the Abbot of Kleinburg, telling them not to proceed with their plans. Despite his advice, the Kents continue but are prematurely abandoned in a forest by their coachman, who refuses to continue after dark. Finally, their luck is changing it seems, when another mysterious black coach appears and delivers them to an enormous, eerie castle where they are offered the hospitality of Count Dracula... (official distributor synopsis)
