Dracula [Thomas Desfossé] has chosen a bride. The Professor [Jacques Régis]and his aide, Eric [Denis Tallaron], arebent on finding Dracula and ending his rule and that of the others whoexist in in his 'parallel world'. First stop is the cemetery where thecircus clown Triboulet [Thomas Smith] meets his vampire lover during each full moon.Under threat of having the coffin of the Vampiress [Sandrine Thoquet] opened to the sun,Triboulet reveals that the Madwoman at the Tower of the Damned is the onlyone who might know the Master's whereabouts. When questioned underhypnosis, the Madwoman reveals that only the Queen of Shadows-- Dracula'sfiancée Isabelle, who is being held in Paris by the nuns at the Order ofthe White Virgins--knows where he sleeps.Eric and the Professor pay a visit to the nunnery. Mother Superior [Marie-Laurence]explains to them that Isabelle [Cyrille Iste] was a foundling and that her estate allowsthem to keep and protect her even though Dracula has made her mad and hermadness spills over onto everyone who comes in contact with her. Thebehavior of the nuns and an audience with Isabelle herself backs up MotherSuperior's words. Isabelle is mostly incoherent, able only to tell underhypnosis that Dracula is in a clock chamber. The Professor plants thesuggestion that Isabelle is to meet him at midnight. However, two of thenuns suspect that the Professor will try totake Isabelle away, so they arrange for her to be hidden away.When an elderly couple suddenly show up, claiming to be relatives ofIsabelle and saying that they have come to take her home, Mother Superiorrefuses to let Isabelle go with them. Come midnight, Isabelle tries toleave the house. Before she can meet the Professor, however, she isintercepted by Triboulet who takes her to the Tower of the Damned. There,he offers an infant to the Madwoman, who is really the baby-eating Ogress [Magalie Aquado],in payment for her hiding Isabelle until the engagement ceremony begins.After taking a few bites from the howling baby, the Ogress shows them asecret passage which leads to Dracula's castle. Eric and the Professor,who have been following Triboulet and Isabelle, arrive at the Tower anddemand that the Ogress tell them the whereabouts of Isabelle. The Ogressgives them a sob story about how she has been forced to live undergroundand craves the love of a man. She begs them to take her with them. Ericalmost succumbs but, when the Professor sees the body of the baby, heorders Eric to kill her. Eric shoots her twice--once through eachbreast--and then another shot for good measure. Then they find and followthe tunnel that leads to the castle.The engagement ceremony is about to begin. The participants arearriving--first the old man and woman (who are witches) followed by aviolinist, the Shewolf who is to act as the Mistress of Ceremonies, andthe Ogress (who has been restored to health by the Vampiress). TheVampiress has brought with her Mother Superior and two other nuns who areto be sacrificed in order for Dracula to appear. While the old man chopsout the heart of one of the nuns, the Shewolf escorts Isabelle, in herwhite bridal gown, to the clock chamber, which is the portal between thisworld and Dracula's world. Isabelle is told to open the clock. If she seesthe image of Dracula within, it means that he has accepted her as hisbride. If he does not appear, the Shewolf has been ordered to killIsabelle. Dracula's image appears to Isabelle, and he leaves her with anengagement ring and tells her that she must agree to one final sacrificebefore they can be together. Meanwhile, Eric and the Professor have freedMother Superior and the remaining nun. In their escape, however, MotherSuperior dies of a heart attack and the nun is bitten by the Vampiress.It is morning. The Professor and Eric find Isabelle wandering on theramparts and take her with them. Eric has fallen in love with Isabelle,but Dracula is calling her, and Isabelle must go. Fortunately, theProfessor is in contact with Isabelle's mind. He can tell that she isbeing taken to the Chausey Islands where Dracula is hiding while more nunsfrom the Order of the White Virgins keep him and provide him with blood.When Isabelle arrives on the island, the nuns trade her bridal gown for asheer robe (with roses in strategic spots) and lead her down to the beachwhere the clock chamber waits. They tie Isabelle to a post and await theincoming tide. Isabelle herself is to be the final sacrifice!Fortunately, the Professor and Eric aren't far behind. The Professorsearches the beach for Isabelle while Eric searches the grounds forDracula's coffin. Triboulet, the Ogress, the Vampiress, and the Old Womanhave also gathered to watch the Master's arrival. As the sun sets, Draculasteps out of the clock chamber. Meanwhile, Eric has found a chessboard,and the Professor orders him to move the White Queen so that the BlackKing is in checkmate. Suddenly, Dracula disappears. When Triboulet, theOgress, and the Vampiress go to investigate, they find the Professorhiding behind the clock and kill him. Mother Superior orders the nuns toplace Triboulet, the Ogress, and the Vampiress on a boat and set themasail. 'The morning sun will get them.'The tide is rising fast. As the waves begin to crash over Isabelle'shead, she suddenly disappears into the clock and is transported to thechamber where Dracula lies in his coffin. As they embrace, Eric appears.Eric begs Isabelle to go with him, but Isabelle refuses. Meanwhile, thenuns have found the rearranged chessboard and, knowing that the chessboardcontrols the door to Dracula's tomb, they smash the board, sealing inDracula, Isabelle, and Eric. However, Isabelle and Dracula exit throughthe clock. Out on the boat, where the Vampiress is tied to the rail, theOgress can contain her hunger no longer and takes a bite out of theVampiress's neck, much to Triboulet's objections. As the rising sun burnsup the Vampiress, Triboulet kills the Ogress and then turns the knife onhimself. On the beach, Dracula and Isabelle walk hand in hand. Hermarriage to Dracula has given him the ability to walk in the sunlight.[Original synopsis by bj_kuehl]
