English gentleman Paul Baxter (William Sylvester) heads to Brittany for a little rest and relaxation. But that doesn't happen because he comes across a satanic cult, led by dapper Frenchman Arman (Hubert Noel), a vampire. The cult requires human sacrifices, and after two tourists are killed and another woman, Karin (Tracy Reed), is kidnapped by the cult, Baxter takes matters into his own hands. He exposes the monster Arman and frees Karin. Then, Arman wanders through a cemetery and trips on a cross that kills him.

Now, here's an interesting twist to Robert Louis Stevenson's tale. Dr. Jekyll (Ralph Bates) is looking for the elixir that will wipe out all diseases; instead, he comes up with a formula that turns him into the beautiful, but evil, woman Sister Hyde (Martine Beswick). Because female hormones are needed for the experiment, prostitutes are lured to their deaths. Finally, Dr. Jekyll tries to fight off the ever increasing dominance of Sister Hyde, but his efforts may be too late. A good performance by Beswick–and she even looks somewhat like Bates.
