Underdog (Wally Cox) faces off against "Batty Man" in the pentultimate episode of the series. This vampire is more interested in stealing gold from Fort Knox than drinking blood.
I should point out that Mad Magazine had used a "Batty Man" as a parody of Batman roughly around the same time.
This video, taken by a camera phone from a Boomerang broadcast, comes from NBC's 2nd run with the series, no later than 1972-3.
Who'd ever heard of a vampire on a cruise liner in broad daylight, before "Hotel Transylvania"?
One of the weaker entries in the series.
Rating: C.
