Synopsis
A scientist expelled from respectable circles tests a wolf-blood serum on his trusting gardener. He describes the experiment as a possible military breakthrough, but revenge drives his next steps. As a transformed creature stalks the countryside, a reporter investigates the connection between the attacks and the doctor's secluded laboratory.

Behind the scenes
Producers Releasing Corporation supplied a low-budget setting for George Zucco's scientist and Glenn Strange's monster. Contemporary production records indicate roughly two weeks of filming, despite later accounts of a five-day shoot. The screenplay also folds wartime arguments about useful scientific research into its revenge plot.
