Summary
  • El vampiro: Marta goes back to her childhood home, accompanied by Dr. Saldívar. While claiming to be just another traveler, Saldívar is investigating some strange occurrences at the estate. On arriving, Marta learns that things are indeed out of the ordinary-her aunt Maria Teresa has passed away under mysterious circumstances, and Aunt Eloisa appears to be under the spell of guest Count Karol de Lavud. Not surprisingly, de Lavud is soon revealed as a vampire, who plans to resurrect his departed brother from the estate's basement crypt. More importantly, the Count also hopes to recruit Marta-unless Saldívar can stop him in time
  • El ataúd del vampiro: A criminal brute is hired by foolish, vampire-obsessed Dr. Marion to retrieve the coffin of Count de Lavud and bring it back to the hospital. Dr. Marion has some experiments planned, but he imprudently removes the stake first--making him de Lavud's first new victim. With de Lavud out roaming the streets, Marta is once again in danger of coming under the deadly spell of the blood-sucking prince of darkness. Will Dr. Saldívar be able to save Marta this time?
