Sheriff David Janssen investigates the death of a local girl in the Louisiana bayou. First wild dogs are suspected, but the autopsy reveals it was murder. Janssen spends most of the running time tracking down clues and interviewing suspects. It's all rather routine with stereotyped country hicks and cliched Louisiana settings. It gets marginally more interesting towards the end when the werewolf is revealed, but there is no transformation scene, just a hairy guy running around wearing normal clothes. I never knew that "blessed bullets" were fatal to werewolves.
