Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man Page #2

Synopsis: Larry Talbot finds himself in an asylum, recovering from an operation performed by the kindly Dr. Mannering. Inspector Owen finds him there, too, wanting to question him about a recent spate of murders. Talbot escapes and finds Maleva, the old gypsy woman who knows his secret: when the moon is full, he changes to a werewolf. She travels with him to locate the one man who can help him to die - Dr. Frankenstein. The brilliant doctor proves to be dead himself, but they do find Frankenstein's daughter. Talbot begs her for her father's papers containing the secrets of life and death. She doesn't have them, so he goes to the ruins of the Frankenstein castle to find them himself. There he finds the Monster, whom he chips out of a block of ice. Dr. Mannering catches up with him only to become tempted to monomania while using Frankenstein's old equipment.

develop supernormal mental powers...

that are

quite extraordinary.

Certainly he got up

and opened the window.

The borderline between delusion

and reality is very narrow.

Sometimes a patient may

unknowingly overstep that line.

Then that man's dangerous.

He ought to be behind bars.

He's a lycanthrope.

A what?

Lycanthrope.

Oh.

What's that?

A man who imagines himself

to be a wolf.

Oh.

Poor devil.

We should try to do

something to help him.

Well. Doctor. I think I'll run

up to Llanwelly and find out...

You know. Inspector.

I had the very same idea.

To be able to cure this man.

I have to know who he is.

Right.

We'll go up together.

Somebody's broken

into this vault.

How long since you were

here last. Sergeant?

Not for months. Nobody's

died in Llanwelly lately.

and nobody comes here

if he doesn't have to.

Hmm.

[Creaking]

The door...

What about it?

It's broken from inside.

Here. Give me that.

Someone must've taken

the body out of the tomb.

That's not Lawrence Talbot. Not Talbot?

Do you know who this is here?

Yes. That's Freddy Jolly.

Who's he?

Been up for vagrancy.

Hmm.

What would you say

he died of. Doctor?

Severed jugular.

This man bled to death.

Same as the constable

in Cardiff.

Looks rather like the bite of

an animal. Aye. That animal.

We remember it well

hereabouts.

And it must've carried away

the corpse of poor Sir Lawrence.

What animal? Why. didn't you know. Sir?

There was a wild animal

around here a few years ago.

It killed people. Bit through

their throats. drained their blood.

Did they kill it? Sir John

Talbot thought he did. Sir.

He attacked it in the dark

one night. or so he thought.

But it was his son he

killed. Poor Mr. Larry.

Where is

Sir John Talbot now?

Over there. Sir. Died

of grief shortly after.

Let's get out of here.

But the body. Sir.

Mustn't touch that.

That's evidence. Yes. Sir.

Sergeant. If it's convenient. I'd like

to see a photograph of Lawrence Talbot.

There's one up in my office. Sir. Good.

Here's Mr. Larry's

photograph. Sir.

Take a look at this face. Doctor.

Isn't that our man in Cardiff?

Yes. There is a similarity. But I

wouldn't swear it's the same man.

Of course it's not

the same man.

If it were.

I'd be off me top.

I think the sergeant here better

come back to Cardiff with us...

and see if he can positively

identify this man.

That's the thing to do. Do you

mind if I use your telephone?

I'd like to check up on my patient's

condition. Of course. Doctor. Over there.

[Ringing]

Hello? Put me through to the

Queen's Hospital in Cardiff. Please.

I want to talk to

Dr. Gordon.

Have you ever heard of

a Gypsy woman named Maleva?
