Plot

Dracula straps on a side-arm and goes West in this combination horror-Western movie. After a western town is terrorized by the gunslinging vampire, a brave preacher decides he must destroy him. The vampire has picked out an especially juicy victim, the woman rancher who hired him. The preacher shoots the vampire with a bullet engraved with a cross in the nick of time. The hapless bloodsucker turns into so much dust. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
