David Kessler (David Naughton) and his friend Jack (Griffin Dunne) are two Americans backpacking in London and when they stop by a pub are warned of a local werewolf that attacks at night.

One of the customers is Rik Mayall, from The Young Ones and Black Adder.

When they leave, it attacks them, killing Jack and wounding David.

The locals kill the wolf, and David wakes up in the hospital wondering what happened. The last thing he remembers is a hallucination and only Nurse Price (Jenny Agutter) believes him.

He keeps being visited by Jack when nobody's around, who warns him he'll transform during the next full moon.

The nurse takes him in and they become romantically involved.

She goes to work and he changes as was warned would happen.

He goes out into town and attacks.The parody leaves out that he attacks twice, and before he attacks again, he tries to turn himself in and doctors try to help him.


After the second time, there is a bloody shootout where he and his victims are killed by authorities.

In the parody, his victims get turned into Peppers, a reference to an ad campaign David Naughton was famous for while doing this movie.
