American brothers, Max and Chris, arrive in a small European town to spend the summer with their eccentric uncle Gustav. Max becomes sure that their uncle is a vampire and goes to see the rich local businessman Alexander Lucard for help.

Gustav's old friends Peter and Anna Dyson arrive for a visit. Meanwhile, Lucard finds out that Max has taken the Cross of the Magyars which prevents vampires from entering Gustav's home from the house to be blessed.

Gustav and a former student of his concoct a mixture, a solution called quinidrine, which should reverse all effects of an early vampire bite.

While Sophie and Chris skirt around the relationship issue between them and finally end up on a date together, Max meets a clumsy, but brilliant, scientist who has made it his life's work to invent items for battling the undead.

An old enemy is out to take down Lucard, though his actions cause unusual problems for a member of the Helsing family.

When a man named Paul Yeager loses his wife to Lucard's second-in-command, Klaus, he attempts to enlist Gustav to help him kill the vampire, but Gustav is strangely unwilling to help. Meanwhile, the children go on a treasure hunt.

When Helsing learns that Lucard is buying an old theater in town, he investigates to find out what the vampire's true interest is in the place.

After a loved one falls under the sway of Lucard, the Helsing family must fight to save her before it's too late.

Lucard gets sick after drinking blood from a young thief and sends for Dr Gabor Varney. The cure is a compound found only in the waters of Paquette spring. Helsing and Max follow the dying Lucard to the springs to destroy him.

Sophie gets turned into a vampire. Can the family cure her before she fully succumbs to the curse?

Sophie's love interest turns out to have a girlfriend, who arrives from America for a visit.
