Synopsis:
When the bodies of two victims are found with their flesh ripped from their hands and faces by the fangs of a wild beast, Professor Ordway, an expert on werewolves, claims one is running loose through the streets of the city. While Commissioner Weston orders his men to stand guard, a pickpocket named Finger Freddie strikes a deal with the commissioner: he’ll give them the werewolf in return for immunity. Soon after, Freddie’s body is found mutilated in the same manner. Dr. Randall, assisting Weston with the investigation, invites Margot to his residence to reveal the truth. Using a set of metal jaws with razor-sharp metal teeth modeled after those of a wolf, he wears the surgical steel contraptions like a pair of gloves. Its effects on human flesh simulate an attack by a wolf. The Shadow arrives to save Margot and Dr. Randall pulls a gun and attempts to shoot the invisible avenger. A quick struggle forces the gun against Randall’s chest and the evil doctor accidentally shoots himself. Lamont explains to Margot that Freddie was silenced because he knew the doctor was responsible for performing plastic surgery on the faces of criminals. His victims were former clients who were going to report his actions to the police.
