In Sierra Negra, two grave robbers steel the coffin of Count Karol de Lavud (Germán Robles) from the crypt, despite the resistance of María Teresa (Alicia Montoya). They head by car to a hospital, where the greedy Barraza (Yerye Beirute) sees a medallion when the coffin is opened and demands more money from his partner, Doctor Mendoza (Guillermo Orea). Meanwhile, at the same hospital, Marta González (Ariadne Welter) is working as a nurse with Dr. Enrique Saldívar (Abel Salazar) and still recovering from the events in Sicomorros. When Dr. Mendoza seeks out Dr. Enrique to tell that he has stolen the vampire coffin to study his cells, Barraza returns to the room and remove the wood stake to steal Count Lavud's medallion. The vampire returns to life and begins a crime spree in the city, hunting down Marta to marry her. - Actors:
