- Lady Dracula uses Dracula's ring to lure beautiful girls to her castle, where she murders them so she can bathe in their blood.
- The 1800s: scholarly Karl Schiller believes he's found the ring of the Nibelungen, which holds great power. It's at Castle Dracula. His twin, Franz, a gambler, asks if vampires frighten Karl; Karl shows him an Egyptian amulet, which may protect him. Franz takes the amulet and sets out ahead of his brother, arriving at the castle first. There he finds a countess who invites him to dine. Later that night, Karl arrives. Coincidently, it's the Night of the Virgin Moon, a night that falls every fifty years and draws five virgins from the surrounding village to the castle not be heard from again. Can Karl protect his brother, find the ring, and rescue any of the women?—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- Karl Schiller [Mark Damon] thinks he may have located Wagner's Ring of Nibelungen at Castle Dracula in the Carpathian mountains and plans to go looking for it. Karl's seedy twin brother Franz [also Mark Damon] reminds him that Transylvania is the land of vampires, but Karl laughs off such superstitious ideas. Besides, he's got an amulet that will protect him, so he sets off for Transylvania. However, Franz whips up a swift horse, swipes Karl's amulet, and beats him to the castle. Franz stops first in the village nearest the castle and learns from the innkeeper's daughter Tanya [Francesca Romana Davila] that tomorrow night is the Night of the Virgin Moon, and legend says that every 50 years on the full moon following Midsummer, five virgins will be chosen from the village and called to the castle. What happens to them is not known, but they disappear during the night and are never seen again. After deflowering Tanya for her own protection, Franz rides on to Castle Dracula where he meets the occupants--the Contessa Dominga de Vries [Sara Bay] and her zombielike lesbian housekeeper Lara [Esmerelda Barros]. Unfortunately for Franz, he left the amulet of protection back at the inn. The Contessa, being a vampire, easily seduces Franz and turns him into one, too.
Along comes Karl, riding his not-so-swift horse. When he shows up at the castle and identifies himself, the Countess informs him that Franz was there but left abruptly without a word of thanks, and she doesn't know where he went. Karl is invited to stay the night, but when he finds himself locked in his bedroom, he climbs out of the window and goes poking around the castle. He winds up in the crypt where he is attacked by a bald-headed vampire [Ciro Papas] and finds his brother sealed in a coffin. Karl releases Franz and carries him back upstairs, but Franz has no memory of how he got into the crypt.
Meanwhile, Tanya has found the amulet under the pillow in the room where Franz spent the night, and she decides to bring it to the castle herself. She sees Karl in the window and, thinking him to be Franz, she tells him that she has brought his amulet. By the time Karl can get from his room down to the courtyard, Tanya has disappeared but he does find the amulet laying on the cobblestones.
This being the Night of the Virgin Moon, the Countess is busy preparing for the ceremony. First, she puts on the Ring of Nibelungen and uses it to summon the five virgins to the castle. Once there, they are stripped naked by Lara and prepared to be sacrificed at a Black Mass. Meanwhile, Franz has come to realize that he is possessed by Dracula, and the Countess informs him that they are to be married at the Black Mass. Karl tries to talk Franz out of it, but to no avail. While Lara stabs each of the virgins in their necks, Franz and Karl fight with each other. Suddenly, Franz is summoned to take his place at the wedding. The Countess gives him a knife and orders him to use it on Tanya. Instead, he turns on Lara and stabs her in the stomach. The Countess sees Franz's reflection in a mirror and realizes that it is Karl, not Franz, so she points the Ring of Nibelungen at him and sics her five hooded disciples on him. Karl grabs an axe and chops off their heads one by one. He is then set upon by the bald-headed vampire, but Karl grabs a bayonet and stabs the vampire.
Tanya has freed herself and gotten away, but she is headed off by the Countess who uses the Ring to entrance Tanya. The Countess then changes into a giant bat. Shortly thereafter, Karl comes running, and the Countess turns the Ring on him, but Karl pulls out his amulet, causing the Countess to scream in fear. He then wields his axe and cuts off her hand, the one with the Ring on her finger. Only one more thing to do -- stake Franz and bury his body along with the amulet -- and Karl is free to ride off with Tanya. Unfortunately, Tanya has been turned into a vampire, and she bites Karl. In the final scene, Franz's hand rises from his grave and clutches the amulet. [Original Synopsis by bj_kuehl.]
