In the first years of the 1920s, a sickly and dying Count Dracula, who, as a vampire, must drink virgin blood to survive, travels from Transylvania to Italy, following his servant Anton's plan and thinking he will be more likely to find a virgin in a Catholic country. At the same time, all of Dracula's family has vanished because of two reasons, the lack of virgins in their hometown and how the family's reputation prevents any normal family from choosing to bring women to the renowned castle. Shortly after arriving in Italy, Dracula befriends Marchese di Fiore (De Sica), an impecunious Italian landowner who, with a lavish estate falling into decline, is willing to marry off one of his four daughters to the wealthy aristocrat.

Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague that has turned them into undead, vampiric creatures that cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic. They would kill Morgan if they could, but fortunately, they are weak and unintelligent. At night, Morgan locks himself inside his house; during the day, he kills as many vampires as he can, burning the bodies.

Le corps atrocement mutilé d'une jeune fille est retrouvé. Avant de rendre l'âme, cette dernière n'a le temps de prononcer que deux mots : « Kuroi Misa ». Considérée comme une légende urbaine par les services de police, cette sorcière, la plus puissante de tous les temps, apparaîtrait pour résoudre des cas inexpliqués impliquant des forces maléfiques. Une simple légende ? Pas vraiment. Le soir même, Satoru Kuroi, le légiste chargé de l'autopsie, reçoit la visite de sa nièce. Parmi les effets personnels retrouvés sur la victime, le script carbonisé d'une pièce de théâtre les met sur la piste d'un club d'arts dramatiques.
