The Werewolf (Dragnet)

When a frightened citizen reports seeing a werewolf roaming the streets of Los Angeles, detectives Joe Friday and Frank Smith are assigned to investigate what sounds like a bizarre and possibly supernatural case.

As the officers follow the clues through late-night streets and uneasy neighborhoods, they discover the disturbing truth behind the sightings. In classic Dragnet fashion, the case proves that even the strangest reports often have a very real (and very human) explanation.
