There's a killer on the loose, and a local taxi driver is nervous. So, when a mysterious stranger enters his cab, the driver is immediately suspicious. Soon, the passenger exits the cab and tells the driver to wait. The driver decides to go for a quick walk to stretch his legs but soon realizes the passenger is following him. He must be the killer. No, it's worse. He's a vampire. As death closes in, the driver awakes. Just a nightmare; and a silly nightmare at that. Imagine, a vampire falling asleep at night. The driver then goes looking for his next prey.
