Premise
When a San Francisco estate is converted into a church, Hungarian prince and handsome millionaire Anton Voytek, arrives at the dedication ceremonies. Posing as an art collector, Voytek is actually a vampire with an irresistible power over women who has been in the San Francisco Bay area for many years. He manages to escape detection by using various disguises and secret coffins hidden around the city.

During the ceremonies, retired policeman Harry Kilcoyne, notices the earth beginning to smoke when the shadow of a cross falls on it.

There then follows a series of puzzling and gruesome murders that send the police searching for a psychotic killer. Harry is convinced that the killings are the work of a vampire when he recalls a similar chain of unsolved homicides committed thirty years ago, so he teams up with a vampire killer to hunt down the vampire.
