Countess Dracula

Synopsis: In medieval Europe aging Countess Elisabeth rules harshly with the help of lover Captain Dobi. Finding that washing in the blood of young girls makes her young again she gets Dobi to start abducting likely candidates. The Countess - pretending to be her own daughter - starts dallying with a younger man, much to Dobi's annoyance. The disappearances cause mounting terror locally, and when she finds out that only the blood of a virgin does the job, Dobi is sent out again with a more difficult task.

Come on.

Sorry.

The bailiff summoned him.

It was the Count's wish

that he should be here for the will.

Countess, your husband

promised me work.

Be off! Away with you!

My wife and boys are starving.

In God's name, you promised.

You promised!

Down! Get off there, come on!

They've run over him!

Father!

Well, come on! What are you waiting for?

Devil woman! Devil, devil!

Now, before we proceed to business,

may I present lmre Toth.

The son of your husband's late friend,

General Toth.

The Countess Elisabeth Nadasdy.

Captain Dobi, the steward of the castle,

Master Fabio, the historian

and the Countess's companion, Julie.

One person not yet arrived is llona,

the Countess's daughter.

Her father sent for her when he knew

he was dying but alas, too late.

Yes, yes, let's get on with it.

Please.

"The last will and testament

of Count Ferencz Nadasdy.

"To Captain Dobi,

"I bequeath my arms and uniforms.

"To Julie Szentes, 1,000 coronas

"and food and lodging

in my home for the rest of her days.

"To Master Fabio, my library.

"To lmre Toth, the son of my dearest friend

and army companion,

"who fought gallantly with me and saved

my life on more than one occasion,

"I bequeath my famous stable

with all the horses and the cottage.

"To my beloved wife Elisabeth,

"my fortunes and estates, to...

"To be divided equally

with our only child, llona."

Well, we must respect his wishes.

Countess, I must apologize

for my late arrival.

My horse lost a shoe.

Well, now you have

all the horseshoes you need...

and the horses.

Since we are new neighbors,

doubtless we shall see much of each other.

The honor will be mine.

"...half a kilo of tobacco yearly.

"The Sendrey family,

five forints extra money monthly

"and my cottage."

- Do you wish to see these stables?

- Indeed.

Come this way.

"...money monthly

and to Miklos Sendrey,

"one of my ivory pipes

with half a kilo of tobacco yearly."

It seems you've inherited a fine library.

The best in the land.

You cannot imagine my delight. This way.

And you, my friend.

You too, I feel, are a scholar.

I don't know.

I try to read as much as I can.

What was she carrying?

A pan of coals.

The solace of widows and lonely fools.

It makes cold beds hot.

Cold beds hot!

But there are worse places to live

and when llona returns...

- Has she been away long?

- Since she was six.

They sent her to Vienna

to escape the dreaded Turks

but I'm told that God has favored her,

she's a great beauty.

Twenty years a steward of this castle,

protector of his lady

and what do I get?

Two suits of armor

and a trunk full of old uniforms.

What did you expect?

Did you think he was a fool?

You're right, of course.

Who am I to complain when in truth,

he has left me the greatest prize of all?

I did not realize I was bequeathed to you.

You're free now.

To choose whom I please.

You wish me to burn myself, wench?

Quickly. Cold water!

Have I a rival? Our new neighbor, perhaps?

Countess, I've loved you for 20 years,

I've waited patiently for this day.

Please go, I wish to take my bath.

Leave me.

It's cooler now, madam.

Cooler?

Peel me a peach.

What are you trying to do?

Turn my room into a pigsty?

- My hands are burned.

- Get out!

Go!

Dobi! Julie!

The blood. The girl's blood!

Bring her to me.

- What do you want with her?

- Bring the girl to me!

Please.

Find some other amusement

for yourself. Excuse me.

Julie...

Julie, you'll help me?

You'll help me, Julie?

All right. I'll fetch her myself.

Take me to her room. Now.

Don't be frightened.

She went up to the Countess's room

last night and that's the last I saw of her.

Her bed isn't slept in.

Captain, have you seen my daughter?

Teri, the Countess's chambermaid.

She's disappeared.

I'm so worried.

How should I know where she is?

Try the whorehouse.

She'd never do that. She's a pure girl.

He'd know if she was in the whorehouse.

Don't...

Dobi! Julie!

What have you done?

Oh, Dobi.

- Where is she?

- Who?

The girl, your chambermaid.

Look at me, Dobi. Look at me.

And what will your daughter say?

She arrives tomorrow...

and she'll find you as young as she is.

Will she?

Come on, you. Out!

Let me go!

Let me go!

You... Please!

Let me go!

Please! Please let me go!

There you are.

Are you satisfied?

As you are with your library.

- Come ride with me.

- No, the creatures terrify me.

But I brought you a map

for fear of losing you.

Thank you.

The Countess would deem it a pleasure

if you would dine with us tonight.

Don't look so miserable.

The fair llona arrived at dawn.

I haven't seen her yet.

She's been closeted with her mother.

I'm persuaded.

- We dine at seven.

- Bye!

How do I look? Do you think our new

neighbor will find me irresistible?

Is there anyone who can resist you?

We're in luck. The Countess is overcome

with the reunion with her daughter

- and will take dinner in her room.

- Good. And the daughter?

She'll be down.

You two have met, I believe?

My dear young lady,

do you remember me?

My dear Master Fabio.

Have I changed so much?

As a flower changes from bud to bloom.

Past recognition.

This is my young friend lmre Toth.

My mother has spoken of you.

I believe your father and mine

were the closest of friends.

Your mother, I hope she's not too unwell.

Merely fatigued. She wishes us

to remove her from our minds

and to enjoy ourselves this evening.
