Leslie becomes pregnant by Croft and delivers a baby boy, whom she nurses with bottles of blood. The child matures into the ruggedly handsome James Eastman (William Smith), who sets out on a mission to find and kill his diabolical father.

Following a séance hosted by the professor for his students, James confronts his father in a showdown between good and evil.
