==Story==
A coven of hideously decayed vampire women awaken in their crypt after 200 years of sleep. According to the prophecy the Queen of the vampires, Zorina (Lorena Velazquez), must have a successor to her throne so she can return to the underworld and be with her husband, the lord of darkness. 
Two hundred years earlier, the vampire priestess Tundra attempted to capture the innocent prophesized successor, but she escaped. Tundra now vows to capture the woman’s granddaughter, Diana and force her to marry the devil. Tundra prays to the evil moon goddess to restore her youthful beauty, so that she can infiltrate human society. Tundra awakens a group of male vampires to be her henchmen. She begins feeding on innocents so she can gather full strength to revitalize her queen.
Tundra appears outside Diana’s home window and attempts to hypnotize her, but is interrupted Diana’s father, Professor Orloff. Tundra transforms into a bat to escape. She returns to hypnotize the professor, but he wards her off by invoking God’s name. The professor contacts the famous wrestler/hero Santo to protect Diana. 
Tundra returns to the vampire crypt with a human sacrifice. She uses his blood in a ritual to restore the queen and the rest of the vampires to full power and into beautiful women. They are temporarily semi-immune to vampire weaknesses (sunlight, crosses, etc.), but they only have 2 days to appoint a successor, after that, at sunrise, the vampire women will become vulnerable and decayed again and must wait another 200 years.
Tundra and her henchmen infiltrate a masquerade ball, attempting to kidnap Diana. She seductively hypnotizes several party goers, forcing them to do her bidding. Her plan almost succeeds, but Santo attacks the henchmen holding Dianna, and Tundra runs away. In their lair, Tundra blames Santo for foiling their plan. Zorina scolds Tundra for failing once again, killing two random vampire women as an example to her. Zorina decides to accompany Tundra the next evening to ensure the job is successful this time.
Even though the police are carefully watching Diana, Tundra and the henchmen kidnap her. Santo arrives and fights off the henchmen, but Tundra still escapes with Diana. The professor finally figures out the location of the vampires’ lair, and alerts Santo so he can destroy them. 
Tundra begins the ritual to turn Dianna in the new vampire queen. The vampire women are running out the time – the two days are almost over, and the sun is rising. Santo arrives at the crypt but is captured alongside Diana. Once he is restrained and being tortured, Tundra gloats and wastes time demanding her henchmen unmask him. The sun rises in a window behind Tundra, and she bursts into flames. Santo escapes and defeats the remaining henchmen, then sets fire to the vampire women in their coffins.
