Crazed scientist Dr. Cameron lashes out at his detractors by inventing a serum to turn a man into a wolf. Cameron's gardner, Petro is used as the serum's test case, sending the man-made monster on a deadly rampage. Cameron's daughter Lenora grows suspicious of the killings and confides with a local newspaper reporter to try and bring the spree of terror to an end. While this is definitely a low budget variation on the early Lon Cheney werewolf tales, it's entertaining in its own right. Without his wolf costume from this picture, Glenn Strange may be recognized as playing bartender Sam Noonan in Gunsmoke.
