Dr. Lorenz aging wife Countess Lorenz needs fluids harvested from the glands of young virgins in order to retain her eternal youth and beauty. What better place for the Dr. Lorenz to maintain his supply of young virgins than at the alter, where her kidnaps the unsuspecting brides before they can complete their vows.
