The Invaders (Captain America,
Bucky Barnes, Sub-Mariner, Human Torch, Toro) have a nice dinner at the
home of Lord Falsworth, along with his daughter Jacqueline Falsworth and nephew
John, who is secretly the vampire Baron Blood. Torch is seething
because Jacqueline is paying attention to Cap. His Lordship relates
how he first encountered the Baron in World War I as the hero Union Jack.
He had been summoned to the Prime Minister's office where he
was given the assignment to track down a serial killer who seemed to
be a vampire. After several nights of searching he finally spotted
his quarry atop a bridge, planning to ambush a VIP passing below. The
two fought and the vampire escaped; a few weeks later the war ended
and there was no rematch. Jacqueline is upset at the war talk and His
Lordship explains that it was because her mother was killed in the
Blitz. The Invaders make plans to capture Baron Blood....
The following Night, the Invaders start
patrolling London, looking for their bloodthirsty quarry. Torch and
Toro spot Baron Blood among the barrage balloons but it's a trap: a
bomb explodes hurling the two heroes to the ground and snuffing their
flames. Namor spots Blood under the water but it turns out to be a
mechanical decoy spewing poison gas to lay Subby low. Cap and Bucky
find the real Baron Blood who easily knocks them out....
The Invaders wake up to find themselves
trapped in an electrified net, with Baron Blood gloating. And then
Union Jack appears...challenging the vampire to battle. Blood seizes
Jack's pistol to shoot him with but instead it sprays silver dust
into Blood's face. The vampire flees; Union Jack releases the
captives and asks to join the Invaders—but what will Jacqueline say
when she learns her father is risking his life...?
