This is an interesting little film, the earliest surviving werewolf film and notable for its contemporary setting and blue collar characters. Dick Bannister ( George Chesboro ) is the site foreman for a logging firm owned by young socialite Edith Ford ( Marguerite Clayton ) . After being seriously injured by members of a rival operation Dick is given a tranfusion using wolf's blood by Edith's fiance Dr Horton ( Ray Hanford, a man with a nice line in constipated expressions ) and all fear he may have turned into a werewolf. The contrived happy ending is a disappointment but otherwise this is fairly enjoyable.

Marguerite was coming towards the end of her film career here after a very busy previous decade. She died in 1968 aged 77.
