Mysterious Count Yorga has come to California to steal beautiful women away from their husbands. Played by the dashing and seductive Robert Quarry, Yorga does this because he's a vampire.
That's not a spoiler.
The title Count Yorga, Vampire sort of gives away the twist.
He's a red-velvet-smoking-jacketed charmer, set up in an old Los Angeles mansion in the hills, using his vampire hypnosis to seduce his victims under the guise of seances.
Their husbands don't take too this idea. Lead by a blood specialist doctor, the men take on the role of the angry villagers.
You'd think LA would be a little too sunny for a vampire, but there's a California Gothic atmosphere to the movie, especially in the wake of the Manson murders- Yorga is as much groovy psycho cult leader as he is the vampire prince of Los Angeles.
