To such a village comes Melvyn Douglas as a detective endeavouring to trace a series of ghastly murders. He is told of the vampire, but does not believe such a far-fetched story until Irrefutable proof is given him. A more sensational narrative than this tale bv Edward T. I,owe could scarce be found, and it has been made into a really gripping picture. Supporting the star are Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray and George E. Stone.
