Plot summary

In the Edwardian period, when a schooner is wrecked off Whitby, England, the only survivor is Count Dracula, who has arrived with large amounts of Transylvania soil to take up residence in Carfax Abbey, London. He makes friends with Dr. Jack Seward, who runs the local insane asylum and with his daughter Lucy, her friend Mina Van Helsing, and with Jonathan Harker, Lucy's solicitor fiance. But almost immediately, Mina dies from loss of blood, and just possibly this may not be a coincidence. Prof. Abraham Van Helsing, realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Harker and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent Mina from becoming one of the undead.
