To pay off his family's debts, Stani (Gianni Garko) plans to turn the
family's Bavarian castle into a discotheque and hotel. What he doesn't
know though is that in the castle's crypt, two vampires have put up
residence, his own ancestor Count Stanislaus (also Garko) and his wife
Countess Olivia (Betty Vergès). For years, their servant Boris (Ralf
Wolter) has supplied them with blood, but now that the castle has become a
tourist attraction, he starts to fail in his duties, leaving the Count and
Countess to leave their crypt and look for potential blood donors
themselves - and the Count has found an especially willing donor in Linda
(Linda Grondier), Stani's fiancée, simply because she always mistakes him
for Stani. Eventually, Stani's mother (Herta Worell) reveals to him the
secret of the two vampires in the crypt, but far from running away in
teror, Stani thinks this to be an excellent business idea, and from now on
markets the castle as the only hotel with real vampires ... and everybody
comes to be bitten, in fact so many people come that they drive the Count
and Countess to exhaustion - so much so that they just board a coach to
Transylvania to get away from too many blood donors. But will the hotel
survive without its real vampires? Of course it will, because Count
Stanislaus has long turned Linda into one of them, and once the Count is
gone, she doesn't hesitate to turn Stani into a vampire as well ... Oh
boy. A German sex comedy with horror elements. Now that literally spells
disaster, and sure enough, the film is a disaster, a stupid little nudie
flick that lacks any kind of stringent storyline and is instead made up
from bad slapstick, mediocre sightgags (some of them are even mildly
amusing, admittedly), and bare boobs every now and again (not that I would
be complaining about the last one). The whole thing though is so silly it
isn't even funny anymore, making the whole film just another uninteresting
piece of vintage erotica.
