One evening, Teobold Majer (Maro Martinović) visits Dr Franz Glogowecz (Danilo Lazović) in the psychiatrist's isolated Gornji Grad villa.

Despite having held a séance and professing to be a witch earlier that evening, Barbara is greatly amused and invites Teobold to visit her at the villa once her husband has fallen asleep.

During the night, Teobold makes an entrance at what he presumes is Barbara's bedroom window, but ends up in an altercation with Jurek, who mistakes him for Krampus, tearing a piece of his cloak.

He investigates his family history at the library, learning that seven of his ancestors were staked as vampires in the 16th century, along with a woman named Barbara who was burnt as a witch – the events were officiated by a Teobold Majer.

This brings Franz's vampire hunt to the attention of police inspector Brodski (Ranko Zidarić) and healer Bjelinski (Zlatko Vitez), who cryptically offers him his support.

Displaying a neck wound similar to Barbara's, she tells the Glogoweczs of a purported vampire, a Mr Drakulić (Ilija Ivezić), giving them the directions to his grave at Mirogoj Cemetery.

While skeptical Barbara intends to pocket the money, Jambrek brandishes a real hawthorne stake and hammer, proud family keepsakes.
