•
A vampire accidentally awakened by a vagabond falls in love with a doctor's girlfriend, kidnaps her, and hides her in his refuge. The doctor finds the hideout and eliminates the vampire. Negligible horror of Mexican production in which the plot certainly does not stand out for its originality. Impossible to find for rent, occasionally broadcast on satellite networks, the advice is to avoid it.
