"...'Buffy' (Swanson) is a cheerleader at 'Hemery High School' in Los Angeles, a popular girl whose main concerns are shopping and spending time with her friends. While at school one day, she is approached by 'Merrick Jamison-Smythe' (Sutherland), who informs her that she is 'The Slayer' and he is a 'Watcher' whose duty it is to guide and train her. Buffy initially refuses to believe his claims, but becomes convinced when he is able to describe a recurring dream of hers in great detail. Over the course of her training she becomes friends with 'Oliver Pike' (Perry), whose best friend has recently become a vampire.
"After several outings, Buffy is drawn into conflict with local vampire king 'Lothos' (Hauer), who has killed a number of past Slayers. Lothos eventually kills Merrick as well, giving her the motivation she needs to face him in battle. They eventually clash during the middle of the senior dance at Buffy's high school. But through the use of her own unconventional methods, she is able to defeat Lothos and his minions."
