Plot:
He looks like Dracula, talks like Dracula and dresses like Dracula; but since the movie rights to Dracula were controlled by Universal, Bela Lugosi's character name is Armand Tesla in Columbia's Return of the Vampire.
The story begins in London, October 1918. Vampire Armand Tesla (Lugosi) along with wolfman servant Andreas are causing the usual havoc of biting women on the neck and making them into willing servants. Lady Jane and a professor studying Tesla put a stop to the vampire's reign of terror by staking him in the heart with a metal spike. Lady Jane takes Andreas (reverted back to human form) and rehabilitates him by training him as a research assistant.
23 years have passed. The professor has died and his granddaughter Nicki is engaged to Lady Jane's son John. The Germans bomb London and a bomb lands in the cemetary where Tesla's remains lie. Two soldiers are sent into the cemetary to rebury the bodies, they find the remains of Tesla and think he has a shard of shrapnel in his chest. They remove the metal spike unwittingly unleashing Tesla into the world once more. Tesla turns Andreas back into a wolfman servant. He is after Nicki who he has a connection with since he (apparently) bit her when she was a little girl, in his previous reign of terror.
Lady Jane helps an underground movement which helps rescue captives from German POW camps. She sets up an opperation to rescue a Dr. Bruck. Andreas (Under Tesla's influence) intercepts the meeting, killing the good doctor and his guards. Tesla then assumes his identity and instantly has access to polite society where he begins his quest to seduce Nicki. Can Lady Jane convince Scotland Yard that Tesla is a vampire? Can she save Nicki from his evil clutches? And Can wolfman Andreas, who has committed terrible acts ever be morally saved?
