The Wolf Man is a 1924 American silent drama film that starred John Gilbert and Norma Shearer, before they signed with the newly formed MGM.

[2] Gerald Stanley (John Gilbert) is an English gentleman who is engaged to Beatrice Joyce (Alma Frances).

Once sober, Stanley stays away from liquor until he receives word that Beatrice has married his brother.

In a saloon he gets in a fight and kidnaps Elizabeth Gordon (Norma Shearer), a respectable young girl who has wandered off from her father during a trip through the woods.

When she sees the real Stanley, she falls in love with him, and later on he receives word that Beatrice's brother was never killed.
