Roger Balfour (Claude King) is found dead in his home. He's left a suicide note so, despite protests from James Hamlin (Henry Walthall), Balfour's friend and neighbor, Inspector Edward C. Burke (Lon Chaney) declares the death a suicide. For the next five years, Hamlin looks after Balfour's daughter Lucille (Marceline Day) alongside his nephew Arthur Hibbs (Conrad Nagel). One day, eerie people known only as the Man in the Beaver Hat (Lon Chaney) and the Bat Girl (Edna Tichenor) take up residence in the abandoned Balfour House. The maid Smithson (Polly Moran) recognizes them as vampires and soon the notion spreads in the Hamlin household. Hamlin summons Burke to deal with the mystery. Because the new lease for the Balfour House was signed with Roger Balfour's signature, Hamlin and Burke go take a look if his corpse is still in its tomb. It is not. A vampiric Balfour, commonly referred to as the Stranger, is later spotted conversing with the eerie duo and vampire attacks on the Hamlin House start up, culminating in the abduction of Lucille. Everyone goes over to the Balfour House to save her, and in the chaos Burke hypnotizes Hamlin into thinking it's five years ago. All of the supposed vampires are revealed to be actors and the Stranger enacts a domestic scene with Lucille to coax Hamlin into recreating the night of Balfour's death. As per Burke's suspicions, Hamlin reveals himself to have murdered his friend because he objected to Hamlin's intent to marry Lucille when she'd be old enough.

** The novelization is a photoplay novel, so stills from the film are included. One still showing the discovery of Harry's corpse has the subscript "Jules Cowles and the searchers find the body of Harry Balfour." Jules Cowles is the name of the actor who plays the gardener, but is treated here as the name of the character. Yet the text refers to him as "Thomas". The gardener goes unnamed in the film.

* WoodenStake: In the novelization, Jerry reads up on vampires to learn that the one surefire method of killing a vampire is "to drive a hickory stake through the heart of the vampyr." A table in the servants quarters is made of hickory, so he chops off one of the table legs and sharpens it with a hand-ax.
