동유럽의 카르파티아 산중에 드라큘라 백작이 살고 있다. 런던에 있는 카팩스 수도원 양도 문제 때문에 그를 찾아가는 한 신사에게, 마을 사람들은 드라큘라가 흡혈귀라며 위험하니 가지 말라고 극구 말린다. 하지만 렌필드가 약속 때문에 가야 한다고 단호히 말하자, 한 노파가 그를 보호해줄 물건이라며 십자가를 쥐어준다. 겁도 없이 험난한 산길을 타고 허름하고 음산한 고성에 당도한 렌필드는 백작이 건네준 술을 마시고 정신을 잃는다. 드라큘라에게 피를 빨린 렌필드는 그에게 맹목적으로 복종하는 노예가 되어 함께 배를 타고 런던으로 향한다. 도중에 폭풍우를 만나 배는 난파되고 선원들은 모두 죽는다. 유일한 생존자 렌필드는 정신착란 상태로 발견돼 시워드 정신병원에 수감된다. 시워드 박사와 이웃이 된 드라큘라는 다음 희생타자로 박사의 딸 미나에게 눈독을 들인다. 시워드는 갑자기 쇠약해진 딸의 건강을 염려해 그 방면의 전문가인 홀란드의 밴 헬싱 교수를 초청해 도움을 청한다. 한편 미나의 친구인 루시가 원인 모를 과다출혈로 사망하고, 아이들이 습격을 당해 목을 물리는 사건이 발생한다. 최근 미나의 목에 생긴 자국과, 렌필드가 특정 약초에 대해 민감하게 반응하는 점, 그리고 드라큘라의 반영이 거울에 나타나지 않는 것과, 박쥐와 늑대의 출현 등을 종합해 미루어 헬싱은 백작의 정체를 의심하고 뱀파이어를 물리치기 위해 대책을 세운다. 미나의 약혼자 존 하커는 흡혈귀란 단지 허구 속 인물이라며 교수의 말을 웃어넘긴다. 그러다 정신병원을 탈출해 몰래 수도원으로 가는 렌필드를 뒤따라간 하커는 미나의 비명소리를 듣게 되는데... 순간 해가 떠오르고, 낮 동안 휴식을 취하고자 관 속으로 들어간 드라큘라를 찾아낸 교수는 심장에 말뚝을 박음으로써 그를 영구히 처치한다.

Just before he propelled the crime melodrama to new, macabre heights in The Unholy Three, Browning directed this partially lost morality tale pertaining to a different kind of horror: that of a middle-class family living beyond their means and falling prey to moneylenders. Produced by and starring Ruth Roland for FBO Studios, a small operation that later became RKO Pictures, Dollar Down follows Roland as the spendthrift daughter of a manufacturing firm’s general manager (Henry Walthall), who pawns a ring purchased on credit to throw an extravagant party and sends the family’s livelihood into a tailspin. Because its last reel completely disintegrated before it could be copied, the film remains an ultra-rare curio that nonetheless captures an important chapter in Browning’s career before his successful string of films made for MGM.

Three sideshow performers form a conspiracy known as "The Unholy Three" - a ventriloquist, midget, and strongman working together to commit a series of robberies.

Coke Ennyday, the scientific detective, divides his time into periods of "Sleep", "Eat", "Dope" and "Drinks".

To help the police, he tracks down a contraband of opium (which he eagerly tastes) transported within "leaping fishes", saving a "fish-blower" girl from blackmail along the way.

The theft of a sacred diamond band from a Hindoo shrine starts the action.
