Upon being told of their daughters kidnapping, Shagal attempts to rescue her but doesnt get very far before hes captured, drained of his blood and vampirised. Abronsius and Alfred begin pursuing the kidnapper soon after following the snow trail, which leads them to Krolocks ominous castle in the snowblanketed hills nearby. They break into the castle but are trapped by the Counts hunchback servant, Koukol. They are taken to see the count, who affects an air of aristocratic dignity whilst questioning Abronsius about why he has come to the castle. They also encounter the Counts son, the foppish and homosexual Herbert. Meanwhile, Shagal no longer caring about his daughters fate, sets on his plan to turn Magda, the taverns beautiful maidservant and the object of his lust while he was still human, into his vampire bride.Despite misgivings, Abronsius and Alfred accept the Counts invitation to stay in his ramshackle Gothic castle, where Alfred spends the night fitfully. The next morning, Abronsius plans to find the castle crypt and destroy the Count by staking him in the heart, seemingly forgetting about the fate of Sarah. The crypt is guarded by the hunchback, so after some wandering they attempt to climb in through a roof window. However, Abronsius gets stuck in the aperture, and it falls to Alfred to complete the task of killing the Count in his slumber. But at the last moment his nerve fails him and he cannot accomplish the deed. Alfred then has to go back outside to free Abronsius but on the way he comes upon Sarah having a bath in her room. She seems oblivious to her danger when he pleads for her to come away with him and reveals that a ball is to take place this very night. After briefly taking his eyes off her, Alfred turns to find Sarah has vanished into thin air. ......
