A villainous carnival owner traps a young werewolf to include in his growing menagerie of inhuman exhibits.

When a group of people from different walks of life converge in a Hungarian castle situated in Budapest which has been sealed for 500 years, they bring with them a werewolf which slowly begins to cut their numbers down.
