The Vampire

Marta Gonzalez arrives at her ancestral home. No one comes to pick her up at the train station, and she and a random fellow traveler get to their destination on a cart delivering land in a box from Hungary to a certain Mr. Duval. All the way it seems to them that someone is watching them.

Upon arrival, they are met by Martha's aunt and notary, as well as servants who have known Martha since childhood. Aunt tells Martha that her other aunt was terribly afraid of vampires, went crazy on this basis and recently died. Martha and her companion go to their rooms to sleep and hear strange singing. A fellow traveler finds an old book about vampires and a certain Count De Lavoud, who was buried in these places as a vampire.

When Martha falls asleep, her supposedly deceased aunt comes to her room through a secret passage and puts a cross on her pillow. Later, the vampire Duval appears and tries to attack, but the cross prevents him from doing so. The attack becomes possible only after the cross falls from Martha's bed.

In the morning, Martha wants to go to her nursery, which no one has opened for many years, but sees her "dead" aunt there. The traveling companion turns out to be a doctor who was called by a notary to examine the aunt's mental state even before her death. He finds out that Mr. Duval is actually Count Carol De Lavoud, that he and Martha's aunt are vampires, and the "deceased" aunt is actually alive and has not been buried. Vampires try to poison Martha, as they poisoned her aunt, but the doctor understands that she can be saved. Martha's "deceased" aunt strangles her sister and drives a stake into Duval's heart. After the third cocks, their bodies rot before our eyes and turn into half-decomposed skeletons.

The Doctor confesses his love to Marta and they kiss on the platform while the train leaves the station.
