Orlok, the famous Nosferatu, has risen to resurrect the lord of the vampires: Dracula. Van Helsing, the elderly hunter of the undead, calls upon Sir to stop him. Being a bit kooky, he asks of Z-Squared, Mothra, Fluttershy, and Tafeli (the mailman, mind you). They manage to chase Orlok to his castle and they prevent the ritual from resoring Dracula, the sun killing the Nosferatu in the process.
