Summary:
Jonathan Harker, a freshly certified English solicitor, pays a visit to Count Dracula at his Carpathian Mountains castle in order to assist the Count in purchasing a home near London. Harker walks the castle, ignoring the Count's warning, and sees three vampire women; Harker is rescued by Dracula, who presents the women with a tiny kid tied within a sack. Harker wakes up in bed; Dracula departs the castle shortly after, abandoning him to the ladies; Harker manages to flee with his life and ends up insane in a Budapest hospital.
Dracula boards a ship bound for England, laden with dirt from his castle. The captain's log recounts the crew's disappearance until he is left alone at the helm to keep the ship on track. When the ship goes aground in Whitby, an animal like a big dog is seen leaping ashore.
Lucy Westenra discusses her marriage offers from Dr. John Seward, Quincey Morris, and Arthur Holmwood in a letter to Harker's fiancée Mina Murray. Lucy accepts Holmwood's offer, but the three of them remain friends. Mina goes to Whitby with her friend Lucy for a vacation. Lucy starts to sleepwalk. Dracula chases Lucy once his ship arrives. Mina receives a letter informing her that her vanished fiancé is unwell, and she travels to Budapest to care for him. Lucy develops a serious illness. Professor Abraham Van Helsing, Seward's former instructor, determines the nature of Lucy's illness but refuses to reveal it.
He diagnoses her with severe anemia. Van Helsing decorates her chamber with garlic blossoms and fashions a necklace out of them. The garlic blossoms are removed by Lucy's mother, who is unaware that they repel vampires. Lucy and her mother are scared by a wolf while Seward and Van Helsing are out, and Mrs. Westenra dies of a heart attack; Lucy dies shortly after.
Following Lucy's burial, newspapers describe a "bloofer woman" (beautiful lady) stalking children in the night, which Van Helsing deduces is Lucy. When the four arrive at her grave, they discover that she is a vampire. They pierce her heart, decapitate her, and stuff garlic into her mouth. Jonathan Harker and Mina, his now-wife, have returned to the fight against Dracula.
As the men begin their quest for Dracula, everyone remains in Dr. Seward's asylum. Only vampires from their country may rest on Earth, according to Van Helsing. Renfield, Seward's patient, is a crazy man who consumes vermin to absorb their life energy, and Dracula speaks with him. Dracula employs Renfield to get access to the asylum after learning of the group's scheme against him. He assaults Mina three times in secrecy, each time drinking her blood and forcing her to drink his blood on the third visit. Unless Dracula is destroyed, she is doomed to become a vampire after her death.
Many earth boxes are discovered while the men search for Dracula's homes. Each of the boxes is opened, and wafers of sacramental bread are sealed within, rendering them worthless to Dracula. They try to capture the Count at his Piccadilly home, but he manages to flee. They discover that Dracula is escaping with his final box to his castle in Transylvania. Mina has a flimsy psychic link to Dracula, which Van Helsing uses to follow Dracula's movements via hypnosis. They are pursuing him, led by Mina.
The hunters in Galatz, Romania, broke apart. Van Helsing and Mina travel to Dracula's castle, where the professor kills the vampire ladies. On the river, Jonathan Harker and Arthur Holmwood are following Dracula's boat, while Quincey Morris and John Seward are following them on land. The hunters converge and attack Dracula's box when it is eventually put onto a wagon by Szgany men.
Harker cuts Dracula's neck and Quincey stabs him in the heart after routing the Szgany. Mina is set free from her vampiric curse as Dracula crumbles to dust. In the struggle against the Szgany, Quincey is gravely wounded. He succumbs to his wounds, content in the knowledge that Mina has been saved. Seven years later, Jonathan Harker writes that the Harkers have a son called Quincey.
