Following the recent accidental death of his older brother, Larry Talbot returns to the family castle to help run the estate. However, while courting an attractive young lady from the nearby village, Larry is bitten by a strange and vicious wolf and soon discovers that he has acquired the terrible curse of lycanthropy. "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright." Not only does Larry terrorize the countryside by night as a savage werewolf, he is also horrified to learn that his next intended victim will be the woman he loves.
