Synopsis

Lucy Seward, whose father is the doctor in charge of an English sanitorium, has been attacked by some mysterious illness.

Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, a sort of ghost that goes about at night sucking blood from its victims.

The vampire is at last found to be a certain Count Dracula, whose ghost is finally laid to rest in a striking and novel manner.

The play is intended for all who love thrills in the theater, and is appropriate for all groups.
