The Black Cat and her crew Boris Korpse and Bruno Grainger steal a painting from an exhibition but fails to sanction the heist with Odessa Drake and the Thieves Guild, who want their cut. Also on her trail is Sonny Ocampo, director of security for the exhibition. Felicia eludes both of them but is unexpectedly confronted by her and her own father’s mentor, the Black Fox, who has a plan which doesn’t seem to have Felicia’s interests at heart.
In a posh hotel in Miami, the Fox has arranged for the immortal monster-hunter Ulysses Bloodstone to break up his card game with Dracula, distracting the vampire long enough for him to steal all his money and make his getaway. Speeding out of town with his associates Walter Hardy and Castillo Drake, none seem to notice they are followed by a colony of bats.
