The villagers of Schtetel find that the vampire Count Mitterhouse has abducted a young girl from the village and drunken her blood as well as seduced the wife of one of the villagers. In anger, they stake the Count and burn his castle to the ground. Count Mitterhouse dies promising that he will drink the blood of their children to return to life. Fifteen years later and Schtetel is suffering from a plague. All the surrounding villages have quarantined Schtetel, shooting anybody who tries to get in or out. But then the village is suddenly visited by the Circus of Nights. The circus’s performers enchant the villagers with their seemingly magical abilities. But they are really the vampire brood of Count Mitterhouse and have come to seduce the children of the village and devour their blood in order to resurrect the count from his coffin.
