Synopsis: Upon the death of his brother, Larry Talbot returns from America to his ancestral home in Wales. He visits a gypsy camp with village girl Jenny Williams, who is attacked by Bela, a gypsy who has turned into a werewolf. Larry kills the werewolf but is bitten during the fight. Bela's mother tells him that this will cause him to become a werewolf at each full moon. Larry confesses his plight to his unbelieving father, Sir John, who then joins the villagers in a hunt for the wolf. Transformed by the full moon, Larry heads for the forest and a fateful meeting with both Sir John and Gwen Conliffe.

You know, I haven't had

my fortune told in years.

How about tonight?

No.

Fine, I'll be

here at 8:
00.

Yes, that's the

sign of the werewolf.

That's just a legend,

though, isn't it?

Yes, but like most legends, it

must have some basis in fact.

It's probably an

ancient explanation

of the dual personality

in each of us.

How does it go?

"Even a man who is pure in heart

and says his prayers by night

"May become a wolf

when the wolfsbane blooms

"and the autumn

moon is bright"

That's funny.

That's the same thing

the girl in

the antique shop said.

Oh, you met

Gwen Conliffe, have you?

So that's her name!

I was just looking

the town over.

Naturally. Continue

to look it over.

But I want you to know

not only the pretty girls,

but the old men and women

and the young men.

Get to know all about them, Larry.

They're nice people.

They're your people. After all,

you're going to run the estate.

Of course, I want to

know all of them.

You seem to have made

a pretty good start.

Run along.

Get on with the good work.

All right, thanks.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh! It's you.

Why, of course.

Who did you expect?

Why, nobody.

I told you I couldn't

go out with you.

And yet you wore those

earrings that I like.

Well, that was

just because I...

Oh, come on.

I don't want to go alone.

I'm really

afraid of the dark.

And, you see,

I wore my cane, too.

Jenny?

This is Jenny Williams. She wants

to have her fortune told, too.

I'm very pleased

to meet you, Mr...

Just call me Larry.

If you don't mind, Larry.

Well...

Oh, look!

Wolfsbane.

"Even a man who is pure in heart

and says his prayers by night

"May become a wolf

when the wolfsbane blooms

"and the autumn

moon is bright"

So you know

that one, too, eh?

Of course. Everyone

knows about werewolves.

We've come to have

our fortunes told.

Can you really

read the future?

I will not disappoint you,

my lady.

Will you step inside, please?

Do you mind

if I go in first?

No, no.

Go right ahead.

Go on, silly.

Quite a pipe the old

boy's got, isn't it?

Cut the cards.

We didn't come down to

listen in on Jenny, did we?

No.

Well, maybe if you took

a little walk with me,

I could tell

your fortune.

So you're

a fortune-teller.

Uh-huh.

Is that how you knew

about the earrings?

Well, not exactly.

You see, a telescope has

a mighty sharp eye.

It brings the stars so close that

you feel you can almost touch them.

A telescope?

Sure.

And it does the same thing

to people in their rooms.

That is, if you point it

in the right direction.

Oh, you wouldn't.

Well, now, I was only

testing the refractor.

I didn't know about you, and, all

of a sudden, there you were.
