What happens

Vampires in Havana (Spanish: ¡Vampiros en La Habana!) is a 1985 Cuban Spanish-language adult animated comedy horror film directed by Juan Padrón and features trumpet performances by Arturo Sandoval. It is an international co-production of Cuba, Spain and West Germany. The film is set in Havana during the 1930s. A local musician and aspiring terrorist in Cuba is unaware of his actual nature as a day walking vampire. He is apparently Count Dracula's grandson, and has served as an unwilling test subject for the experiments of one of Dracula's sons. The musician finds himself targeted by both an American crime syndicate from Chicago, and by a multinational group of European vampires. He desperately tries to escape their manhunt. A sequel to the film, called Más vampiros en La Habana (English title: More Vampires in Havana!), was released in 2003. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
