Spoilers ahead
Sometime during the early 1900s, Professor Abronsius and his clumsy assistant Alfred set out to explore the mysteries of vampirism in a small Jewish shtetl nestled within the Carpathian Mountains. With the winter chill almost freezing them solid in the nearby woods, they find refuge at the inn run by Chagal, a man whose thoughts predominantly wander to Magda, his attractive chambermaid, quite to the annoyance of his patient wife, Rebecca (Knoblauch – “Garlic”). Observing the numerous garlic strings adorning the inn and the villagers, the professor is exhilarated by the prospect of proving his theory on vampires and eagerly interrogates Chagal for any leads.
