Two newcomers arrive on the social scene of London's noble classes. The first one is Lord Ruthven. He is frighteningly pale and has a self-absorbed, uninterested attitude. Yet everyone he meets is attracted to him and seeks to win his affection. The other man is Aubrey, a handsome, wealthy orphan who uses his wild imagination more than his judgment. Aubrey becomes fascinated by Ruthven and obtains approval to accompany the lord on his travels through Europe. When they tour in Rome, Lord Ruthven gambles and give his money to impoverished people with vices, rather than virtuous people in need. He also tries to seduce a young, innocent woman, though Aubrey tries to stop him. Appalled, Aubrey leaves Ruthven and travels to Athens, where he meets Ianthe, a beautiful Greek girl. He falls in love with her, and she tells him supernatural tales, including the legend of the vampire. Two newcomers arrive on the social scene of London's noble classes.
