Last Man On Earth Pt.1
In the year 1968, every day is the same for Dr. Robert Morgan (Vincent Price). He wakes up, gathers his weapons and then literally goes vampire hunting. Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a new disease that turns them into vampire-like creatures. They cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic. They would kill Morgan if they could, but fortunately, they are weak and not too smart. At night, Morgan locks himself inside his house listening to jazz on the hi-fi, and in the morning, he kills as many vampires as he can, destroying the bodies.Then, one day, he meets a beautiful woman named Ruth Collins (Franca Bettoia), who seems to be disease-free. Overjoyed at the sight of another human being (Morgan's wife died from the disease years ago), he takes her home with him. He becomes suspicious when he finds she is repelled by garlic. He then catches her trying to inject herself with some sort of serum. Ruth explains that she is infected, but the serum keeps the disease at bay temporarily. There are others like her, trying to rebuild civilization. They fear him, because some of the vampires he killed were in fact still alive. She confesses that she was sent to distract him; the others plan to kill him that very night.Morgan is filled with regret at his actions, and vows to cure her. He is immune to the disease for some unknown reason. He wonders if it may be due to a bite he received from a bat in his younger days. The bat's biological defenses may have weakened the disease enough before passing it on, rendering him immune. Whatever the reason, when he gives Ruth some of his blood, her symptoms instantly disappear. At last, a cure has been found. But before they can do anything about it, Ruth's people arrive, chase Morgan into a church and murder him in front of the altar, killing the last true man on Earth.
