Plot

A beautiful young woman named Ivanna travels to a remote estate to seek employment as a biochemist for Baron Janos Dalmar. She finds herself attracted to him, so she immerses herself in her work to suppress her lusty desires. A rash of rather brutal murders occurs in the area, and she soon discovers that the Baron is not what he seems. Not long thereafter, the Baron transforms into a demon, and the beautiful young woman becomes his personal love slave.
