Another Tod Slaughter melodrama, this time he is an aristocrat in Paris in love with a much younger girl. When she rejects him, he uses his influence with her father to try to win her hand. When that doesn't work, he decides to murder the man she really loves, and since he is already the famous serial killer "The Wolf" this is rather easy. For reasons that are unclear, murder victims see a monster just before being killed: a drooling, Frankenstein-like figure who appears in a window. Then after the murder a howling wolf sound is heard, again unexplained, apparently just for effect. The killer is revealed in a dramatic, Frankenstein-derived mad scientist scene involving electricity and the reincarnated hand of a victim!
