Dr. Lorenzo Cameron's gardener is to be the doctor's subject in an experiment. Cameron injects a serum made from a wolf's blood into the cooperative Petro, who loses consciousness, grows fur and fangs and awakens after he has turned into a wolfman. Cameron then turns to an empty table and visualizes his former colleagues, four professors who ridiculed his theory that transfusions of wolf blood could be used to give a human being wolf-like traits. Cameron proposes giving wolfman traits to the army to help with the war.
