Synopsis for Captain Marvel: "Captain Marvel and Sivana's Vampire"

A castle's brought brick-by-brick from another country, along with all that is the coffin containing its resident vampire. While fleeing a monster he's never seen before (a car), the vampire takes refuge in what turns out to be Sivana's lab. The evil scientist convinces the bloodthirsty creature he wouldn't make enough of a meal to be worth it, and instead they should join forces. He even has a target in mind already that will benefit them both: a scientist's invented a machine that can easily manufacture blood plasma from simple chemicals, which would provide the vampire easy nourishment and Sivana with easy money. Billy Batson happens to be on hand to interview the scientist when the villains strike, and sends them running as Captain Marvel. Later the villainous pair get the drop on them, and prepare to ironically kill Billy with a wooden stake through the heart. Just then the villains notice it's almost sunrise, and the vampire flees back to the safety of his coffin. Billy manages to transform and subjects the vampire to the sun's rays, roasting him down to his skeleton, before arresting Sivana.
