HIS NAME IS... BLADE! - (The first appearance of Blade.) On the docks of London, a young couple is trying to spirit off to America when they are attacked by a trio of vampires who refer to themselves as part of Dracula's Legion. Before they can feed on the couple, however, they are attacked by Blade, a vampire hunter armed with wooden knives. Elsewhere, on a private cruise ship that has been rented out by the rich Gabriel Trulaine, Trulaine has a special surprise for his guests: Count Dracula. Dracula reveals his true vampire nature and boasts about how he will make all aboard his slaves. Dracula then begins ordering the passengers loyalty, totally unaware that Blade has tracked him to the ship and is now secretly boarding it.
