Denby is an elitist psychiatrist who only offers his services to those of great breeding. He meets a fellow boarder at his hotel who is of noble birth and drinks an odd red liquid. The man is upset because he feels he cannot live up to his father's successes. Denby offers to help him through hypnosis, instilling within his friend all the capability his father possessed. It's only then he learns his friend's father was Dracula - and his favoured beverage isn't wine.
