    After sucking the blood and turning the young Lucy Weston into a vampire, Dracula turns his
    attention to her friend Mina Seward, daughter of Dr. Seward who then calls in a specialist,
    Dr. Van Helsing, to diagnose the sudden deterioration of Mina's health. Van Helsing,
    realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Mina's fiance, John Harker,
    and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent
    Mina from becoming one of the undead.",
