This was another British film with Tod Slaughter as the villain.
He is Chevalier del Gardo a Parisian aristocrat chasing the daughter of a bank director embarrassed by a recent robbery attributed to an infamous supernatural villain the Wolf-Man . She loves Lucien ( John Warwick ) her father's clerk instead. Del Gardo decides to frame him but handily he's friends with a mad scientist who can revive corpses to the point where they can reveal who killed them . As the film progresses it becomes clear that Del Gardo himself is behind the Wolf Man killings.
As the above indicates it's a rather silly film but Slaughter makes it entertaining enough.
Marjorie Taylor ( as Cecile de Brisson )
Sex : She is groped and briefly imprisoned by Del Gardo but escapes intact.
