A merchant peddler who travels between towns in old Spain also happens to be a homicidal maniac. He suffers from a delusion that he is a werewolf, based on stories from the superstitious natives and a childhood trauma. His victims are mostly women and children who are accompanying him on his trips for various reasons. Since the murders takes place in the woods and the victims are travelers, no one really notices they are missing. However, one day a boy follows him into the woods and discovers the horrible truth. Atmospheric with good period detail, but lacks in suspense and has very little shock value, especially considering the subject matter.
