What happens

Lady Dracula is a 1977 West German comedy horror film, directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb and starring Evelyne Kraft, Brad Harris, and Theo Lingen in his final film appearance. The film is initially set in 1876, when Count Dracula kidnaps and bites an adolescent countess. Dracula is killed shortly after, and the girl is sealed in her tomb before having a chance to turn into a vampire. In 1976, she is accidentally released from her tomb and quickly changes into an adult form. The vampiress has to adapt to the changes in her life, while also working for a living. An inspector investigating a series of vampire murders quickly falls in love with the attractive vampire woman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
