Summary:
In a small village in the remote English countryside, several young maidens have been found dead - their beautiful faces horribly aged almost beyond recognition. Suspecting a supernatural evil at work, the local doctor (John Carson) calls on Army friend and famed vampire hunter Captain Kronos (Horst Janson), an expert swordsman formerly of the King's Imperil Guard. Aided by his expert assistant Professor Grost (John Cater), the two quickly confirm the gruesome murders are the work of a unique type of vampire, one who drains its victims not of their blood, but of their youth! After forging a lethal new sword from an old graveyard cross, the vampire hunters set out to put an end to Evil's reign of terror.
