Count Cagliostro, whose family has tried for generations to rid the world of vampires, instructs his daughter and her fiance to protect several valuable documents. The Cagliostro family has a long and distinguished history of vampire hunting, with each generation dedicating themselves to the eradication of the undead threat. Count Cagliostro, the current head of the family, possesses valuable documents that contain crucial information about vampire weaknesses and the location of ancient vampire lairs.

Recognizing the danger these documents represent if they fall into the wrong hands, Count Cagliostro entrusts them to his daughter and her fiance for safekeeping. However, the vampires, aware of the documents’ existence, launch a campaign to retrieve them and destroy the Cagliostro family once and for all. The young couple finds themselves pursued by undead creatures who will stop at nothing to obtain the documents.
