In 1815, in Transylvania, an African prince is vampirized by Count Dracula. More than a century later, his body is brought to Los Angeles and, by a fortunate accident, he rises to new life. The Black Dracula begins to reap victims until the police manage to eliminate him. Remembered only because, for the first time, the prince of the night is "of color". Nothing else to say about this mediocre American horror that, otherwise, offers the usual clichés of the genre.
