      In 1880, a Chinese Warlord pays a visit to Castle Dracula to seek the Count’s services, but is instead destroyed so Dracula can take on his physical appearance. Months later, in Imperial China, Van Helsing, fresh from his Transylvanian lectures on vampirism and the ancient legend of the seven golden vampires, ventures to the city of Ping Kuei. He is accompanied by his son Leyland Van Helsing and martial arts expert Hsi-Ching, along with his six brothers.
      Dracula, in his cttle commences with a great clash of thunder. All the remaining vampires are killed except one. The vampire abducts Leyland’s girlfriend to the dreaded Temple of Dracula. Leyland and Van Helsing pursue the beast. Dracula awaits in the temple while Leyland and the golden vampire struggle outside. Suddenly, Professor Van Helsing engages in a desperate fight with the Lord of the Undead himself. During the struggle, the professor plunges an iron shaft into Dracula’s body. The Count topples onto the stone floor and reduces to dust. Upon Dracula’s destruction, the violent wind dies and the zombies crumble to dust like their master. Van Helsing has destroyed the fiend completely and eternally. (Plot summary based on Robert Marrero's book Horrors of Hammer)
