The two men open the coffin and unleash Blacula on the city of Los Angeles. Blacula soon finds Tina, who is his wife, Luva, reincarnated, and gains her love. Tina's friend, Dr. Gordon, discovers Blacula is a vampire and hunts him down. Interior decorators buy the coffin of an African prince bitten by Dracula centuries before and bring it back to Los Angeles.
