Plot: It's the post WWI era Toronto. Despite Prohibition, Daniel Small continues to operate Corman Distilleries, while his son, Ambrose Small, has just sold his chain of theaters for $1 million. Daniel acquired Corman from the family of Ambrose's wife, Theresa Small. Theresa being wealthy from the liquor business is ironic due to her temperance stance. The sale of the theaters doesn't sit well with Ambrose's business manager, Jack Doughty, to who the theaters represented his livelihood. Immediately following the sale, Ambrose disappears without a trace. Initially, Theresa doesn't want the police involved since she believes he is just out carousing, while his business associates believe he has met with some foul play. Increasingly, the public, especially the anti-Catholic forces, believe devout Catholic Theresa had Protestant Ambrose murdered so that she could funnel his money into the Catholic church. Believing her husband still alive, Theresa hires the young Cole Willis to find Ambrose. Cole is a junior detective with the Tratt Detective Agency, which handles much of the security for the Small family businesses. Edgar Tratt originally hired Cole as a favor to his father and acts as Cole's mentor. As Cole enters into his investigation, he believes that some people know more than they let on about Ambrose's disappearance, whether it be Jack, who absconded with $100,000 of the Small's money, Jack's slatternly wife Vivian Doughty, or Theresa herself, the latter despite Cole's growing attraction to her.

Marie: You dress like a pimp and talk like a goon. What makes you news?

Sallie (The Shark) Macelli: I'm going to grind you down to blood and screams.

Joe: I thought this was just supposed to be a sit-down.::Tony: Yeah, but somebody ain't getting up.

Tony: This is war. We're soldiers. We kill to protect what's ours.

Marie: [about Macelli] If you had just left him to me, I would have stopped him before he fled. Now he's a hundred times more dangerous.::Joe: Who did Macelli eat?::Marie: Some guy named Manny. An innocent person dead because *you* screwed up!::Joe: Manny Bergman? He wasn't so innocent. He's a lawyer.::Marie: Maybe he's not dead. Maybe I have to finish him too.::Joe: Or what? He becomes like Macelli, or he becomes like you?::Marie: Macelli's nothing like me! He's a cold-blooded killer!::Joe: And what are you?

Pathologist: Some nights there's so much farting and belching in here, it's like being in a ballpark.

Then an old man named Tristram Halbin comes for a visit. The second story, "King of the Vampires" deals with a slight-figured killer, called the King of the Vampires by Scotland Yard, which sends Brenner to investigate. The third, "Monster Raid," is about a man turned zombie when he OD's on his experimental drug, who returns to avenge his death at the hands of his widow and her lover-now husband. "Spark of Life" deals with a doctor Mendell obsessed with the experiments of a thrown-out professor named Erich von Frankenstein, and two of his students who try to restore a cadaver to life. "Count Alucard" (called "Alucard" by Carradine and "Dracula: on the end credits, is a variation on the Dracula story, with the Count acquiring the deed to Carfax Abbey from Harker, as vampiresses and dead bodies start turning up. It, too, has a surprise ending unrelated to Stoker.
