Multiple mutilated cadavers have been found in the forest. Precise surgical puts mixed with savage gashes have the authorities perplexed and the villagers of Allariz frightened to enter the woods. An unknown traveling soap vendor, Manuel Romasanta, is captured and confesses to the murders and using the victims' body fat to make his soap. The investigation digs deeper when he proclaims his innocence due to the curse of lycanthropy- turning him into a werewolf! (official distributor synopsis)
