[4] Robert Bridgestone (Kerwin Mathews), a divorced father, takes his son Richie (Scott Sealey) to the family mountain cabin.

Concerned with Richie's story, Sandy (Elaine Devry) insists her ex-husband talk with her son's psychiatrist.

He suggests Robert take his son back to the cabin, predicting that when Richie returns to the scene and sees that everything is normal, his interest in werewolves will cease.

The next morning Robert, appearing dazed and confused, shows up at the camper and tells the couple he has been searching for Richie all night.

On the drive home, Richie questions his father about his actions, but Robert dismisses everything, clearly irritable and bothered about his memory blackout.

The doctor tells Robert that werewolf victims suffer from amnesia and their hands will become deformed the longer they are infected.

The next day, a reluctant Richie and his mom prepare to leave for the cabin with Robert, unaware that the headline of the morning paper reads "Local Psychiatrist Murdered".

The hippies, with their wild-eyed leader (Bob Homel), are forming a circle of power to drive away evil spirits.

In the shed, he finds Richie, digging up the bag he had seen his father (in werewolf form) burying on their previous visit.

The Sheriff leaves some men to stand guard, while Robert watches from the woods and sees that his index finger has now become deformed.

It starts to carry her off, but on hearing her screams, the deputies burst in, opening fire as the monster jumps out the window.

The bullets cannot kill him, but frantically attempting to flee, he stumbles and falls on the broken stake that held the hippies' cross to the ground.

The last thing we see is Sandy examining her son's bite mark, with dawning horror on her face (implying that Richie will be cursed to become a werewolf now).
