Spoilers ahead
In 16th Century Hungary, the werewolf Waldemar Daninsky Paul Naschy is sentenced to die alongside his satanic mistress Countess Elisabeth Bathory Julia Saly and her coven of witches. Since it is nearly impossible to truly kill him, he is kept in a kind of living death, with a silver dagger through his heart and an iron mask affixed to his face to keep him from biting. Centuries later, the dagger is removed from his chest by two graverobbers — First Graverobber Ricardo Palacios and Second Graverobber Rafael Hernández — and Daninsky returns to life, allowing a group of traveling college girls to stay at his castle. Among them are Karen Azucena Hernández and Erika Silvia Aguilar.
