Due giovani studenti americani, Jack e David, in viaggio in Inghilterra, si ritrovano una sera di plenilunio in piena brughiera. Un lupo sbrana Jack e ferisce David, che viene ricoverato nell'ospedale in cui lavora Alex, infermiera che lo accudisce e del quale si invaghisce. David sembra riprendersi ma ha continue visioni di Jack, il quale cerca di convicerlo invano del fatto che le ferite subite lo hanno trasformato in un lupo mannaro, e che se non prenderà provvedimenti entro il prossimo plenilunio avverrà un massacro. David, noncurante, passa le giornate con l'infermiera fino alla sera di luna piena. All'indomani si risveglia nudo in uno zoo, tutto gli appare tragicamente chiaro, e da quel momento cerca di uccidersi. Ma sarà la polizia, al plenilunio seguente, a mettere fine al dramma.
