When Camille Stokes, claiming to be psychic, shows up at the office of P.I. Vicki Nelson to warn her about a vision in which a demon is going to kill Vicki after he has amassed three objects — a chalice, a grimoire, and a dagger -- Vicki is understandably shaken. Only a few months ago, Norman Bridewell, known to the public as the "Vampire Killer," was about to sacrifice Vicki in a ritual to unleash the demon Astaroth from Hell and bring an Apocalypse upon the Earth. Vicki survived, only because vampire Henry Fitzroy was able to recite the incantation that sent both Norman and Astaroth back to hell, although Vicki now sports a mysterious pentagram on each wrist as a daily reminder of the experience. Camille’s warning is even more believable because a chalice, grimoire, and dagger were the three magical objects that Norman used to summon Astaroth. Fortunately, Henry destroyed those objects. Or did he? When Vicki asks Henry if he kept his promise to destroy the objects, he becomes evasive. It turns out that he merely separated them and had each one placed in a safe place. Vicki is irate and demands that he get them back and destroy them for good. After all, her soul may depend upon it. Henry agrees, and they first go looking for the chalice. Henry charged Maurice Baloc, a dealer in antiques who hates demons and black magic as much as Henry does, with hiding the chalice. However, Baloc refuses to give it back, reminding Henry of his order to never reveal the location of the chalice to anyone, including Henry. Not even Henry's assurance that the situation has changed will get Baloc to change his mind, so Henry and Vicki leave the shop empty-handed. Vicki and Henry are unaware that it was actually Norman Bridewell in the form of Camille Stokes who warned Vicki about a "vision" so that she would lead him to the objects. Norman has managed to return to Earth from Hell when the renter of his former apartment, a hockey player and body builder, cut his hand...
