Year 1838. In the city of Wisborg the young Hutter and his wife Ellen live happily, until the dark estate agent Knock decides to send Hutter to Transylvania to close a business with Count Orlok. This is the sale of a Wisborg farm, which adjoins the house of Hutter. During the long journey, Hutter stays overnight in an inn, where he looks through an old vampire treaty he finds in his room. Once in the castle, he is received by the sinister count. The next day, Hutter dawns with two small marks on his neck, which he interprets as mosquito bites. Once the contract is signed, he discovers that the count is, in reality, a vampire. Seeing him leave for his new home, Hutter fears for Ellen.
