Synopsis:
Wisecracking reporter Carl Kolchak, investigating a string 
of gruesome murders in Las Vegas in which the victims are 
drained of blood, concludes that a vampire is on the loose. 
Since the mayor, the police chief and his own editor think 
he's off his rocker, it's up to Kolchak to stop the 
bloodsucker himself.
