Frolov rose from the grave, walks the streets, drinks blood from his fellow villagers. There is no joy in this for anyone. The party organizer is afraid to report about the vampire to the district committee. Residents of the village do not like to go to bed when there is a prospect of not waking up. He himself walked at first as if lost, then began to throw himself. The love of Tamara Ievleva, a woman from the city, actually saved him. But she herself found herself in a dungeon, from where stone corridors lead deep down. Now Tamara Borisovna is in danger. General Snegirev wants to seize power and start a war. Frolov has to return, even though it is very dangerous for him.
