A Miami businessman, John Stone, receives a parcel from England containing two old bottles of Slivovitz brandy from his recently deceased ancestor and after drinking both bottles, becomes a vampire. Stone uses his newfound vampire powers to keep his wife, Helena, in a trance as he travels to England to kill the descendents of Van Helsing that murdered Count Dracula. Meanwhile Helsing's distant relative, Howard Helsing, pursues Stone with the intent to put the re-born vampire to rest for good.
