An auto accident forces a man to seek help for his wife who has been knocked unconscious. When he returns with a doctor, the doctor is surprised to see she has suffered few cuts but nonetheless is nearly dead from massive blood loss. Neither man is the correct blood type to give a transfusion, but a passing stranger with the correct type offers to do so. The woman recovers and disappears after which a spate of vampire attacks occur. Freddie suspects the "donor" to be a vampire and confronts and kills a vampire that turns out to be Jean, then is killed by the true vampire.
