After spending the night on a park bench near the Sydney Opera House, she is spotted by a young American, Donny Martin, who offers her a role in a horror film, Shape Shifters Part 8.

At the hospital, doctors find she has a marsupial-like pouch and striped fur on her back like a thylacine, an extinct carnivorous marsupial.

Three of Jerboa's sisters track her to Sydney and take her back to the pack's hidden werewolf town, Flow (wolf spelled backward).

Eventually, Jerboa and Donny leave, assuming new identities; the Beckmeyers remain behind to raise their daughter and newborn son.

While teaching a class in Los Angeles, Beckmeyer is approached by a young man who introduces himself as Zack, Jerboa and Donny's son.

That night, Olga and Beckmeyer watched Jerboa win the Best Actor award on a television show hosted by Dame Edna Everage.

[citation needed] Mora had been unhappy with Howling II's story and how the producers added extra footage, such as additional shots of breasts, after he left.

[5] Mora got the idea for Howling III from the Tasmanian tiger and reframed the story as one that sides with the werewolves to subvert conventions of the sub-genre.

[citation needed] Scream Factory released Howling III on Blu-ray in North America on 15 January 2019, with extra features, both new and vintage.

[citation needed] Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote: "If you only see one werewolf movie this year, you might as well make it Howling III, Philippe Mora's not-altogether straight-faced howler on behalf of lycanthropes' liberation".

[8] Leonard Klady of the Los Angeles Times called it "a campy recycling of familiar fangoria that is fitfully entertaining".

[9] Dave Kehr of the Chicago Tribune awarded 1 star out of 4 and wrote that the film "seems destined to languish in dusty obscurity on the higher shelves of less discriminating video stores.

[10] Richard Harrington of The Washington Post wrote: "Howling III is much better than the shoddy II but nowhere near as sharp as the Joe Dante original ... Mora's got some intriguing strands to weave together, but the film has no internal rhythm (though it has incessant and usually inadequate music pulsing under every scene).
