Helsing knows that, if Draculas body is not destroyed properly, hell be back. When Helsing learns that Draculas body has been removed from the morgue, he enlists Jims help.Meanwhile, Nadja goes to visit Edgar and meets his nurse and livein lover Cassandra Suzy Amis. Edgar is sick. Nadja persuades Cassandra to move Edgar to her apartment where she can help him by transfusing him with plasma from the blood of shark embryoes, which is what Nadja uses to stay healthy. Edgar revives enough to drink some of Nadjas blood. However, Lucy has fallen under Nadjas mesmerism. She leads both Jim and Van Helsing to Edgars house where Nadja is staying with her renfield. Edgar awakens long enough to warn Cassandra to leave the house, as she is in danger. Cassandra, who just happens to be Van Helsings daughter, attempts to escape, with Nadja pursuing her, Lucy pursuing Nadja, and Jim pursuing Lucy. Cassandra runs into a gas station where it looks like two burly mechanics are going to protect her, but Nadja mesmerizes them and kills one of them. The other one shoots Nadja in the abdomen. ........
