In medieval Europe, the middle aged Countess Elisabeth has just buried her husband and, in a fit of rage one day, strikes one of her ladies-in-waiting and draws blood. She notices that when she wipes the blood off, the skin looks younger. She then bathes in the girl's blood and is transformed into a youthful woman. She passes herself off as her own daughter Ilona returning from years abroad and begins a romance with Lt Toth, much to the jealousy of her former lover Captain Dobi. Unfortunately for Elisabeth, the effects of the blood are only temporary and she must kill again if she is to regain her youth.
