Francesco Mirabelli

•
Larry Talbot, resurrected by a mad scientist along with the Creature of Frankenstein, falls in love with a girl and begs her to shoot him with a silver bullet as soon as she sees him transform into a wolf. He will be granted this wish, but the poor girl will let herself die next to his corpse, while the Creature eliminates the common criminal by making him sink into quicksand. Poor sequel of "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" produced by Universal in which, without a real motivation, "Dracula" also appears.
