Count Murnau, a wealthy eccentric from the Carpathian region wishes to buy a property in Hannover, Germany. The real estate agency sends Mr. Dohart, his best sales representative to close the deal, but Dohart never gets back. The real state agency sends the young and newlywed Hutter to take care of this matter, and he departs alone to Transylvania leaving his wife Ellen waiting for his return.
When he gets to the castle, Hutter begins to uncover the terrible secret that Count Murnau is a vampire. An eerie connection begins to surface between the Count, Dohart and his wife Ellen.
