**SPOILERS***With the communist takeover of his home country Transylvania Dracula, Francis Leader, is both out of luck with him not being a member of the communist party and victims after almost sucking the blood out of the entire population ,for some three hundred years, that he checks out of the country making his way to the little town of Carleton Calif.
Getting his fellow train passenger artist and fleeing from communist tyranny landsman Bellac Gordal,Norbert Shiller,alone in his train compartment Dracula murders him as well as takes over his identity, after throwing Gordal overboard, as kindly and sensitive Uncle Bellec back in the states. Showing up in Carleton Bellac/Dracula is a immediate hit with everyone there except his niece's, Rachael Mayberry, jealous boyfriend Tim Hanson, Ray Stricklyn, who smelled a rat as soon as he laid on the dapper cultured and refined man from Transylvania. Tim was also very mad at Uncle Bellac for stealing his girl Rachael, Norma Eberhardt, who was just crazy about the guy.
Not wasting any time Dracula gets to work first finding a place to sleep during the day, a local abandoned mine shaft,and later setting his sights on Rachael whom he want to recruit into his army of walking dead. Dracula in fact gets sick and blind Jennie Blake, Virgina Vincent, to be his first victim. Virgina then goes out into the woods, after she died and was buried, to do her masters Dracula's dirty work. Virginia turns into a wild dog attacking and killing Immigration Agent Wade Bryant, Charles Tanner, who was investigating Dracula to see if he in fact is Uncle Bellack Gordal. It was reported that someone fitting Gordal description badly mangled body was recovered back in Transylvania by the local police authorities.
With a number of people dying under mysterious circumstances, with for the most part their blood being drained from their bodies, Prof.Meiermann, John Wergraf, a friend of the late Wade Bryant gets into the act convincing the local police and health authorities that this "Uncle Bellec" is really old "Drac" himself. Setting up a trap for Dracula the police get to his fellow vampire the now dead but really alive, yet still dead, Virgina Blake piling a stake through her heart putting the poor girl both out of her misery and at the same time saving her eternal soul.
Drac now knowing that the gig is up takes off to his hiding place, the abandoned mine shaft, with a hypnotized Rachael trying to get her to join his club, the walking dead, and start up his new movement of vampires that he's planning for not just for the little town of Carleton but the entire United States of America. It was Tim, together with a Christian Cross, that finally put an end to Ol' Drac's dreams by having him back up in fear, with the cross stuck in his face, and fall to his ultimate death down the shaft landing on top of a jagged wooden spike, that went right through him, leaving him dead forever.
P.S Unusul Dracula movie in that the actor portraying Dracula Francis Leader actually, like the fabled Vampire himself,lived through three centuries, 1899-2000, but only in parts not, like Dracula, all of them.
