Landon's character is Tony Rivers, a disturbed, angry young man in the James Dean Rebel Without a Cause tradition, who seeks hypnotherapy for his problem.
Unfortunately, the practitioner he seeks out, played by Bissell, is also a very disturbed man with definite mad scientist overtones who, with the help of scopolamine injections, successfully regresses his patient into a werewolf with tragic results.
He is under the belief that man, instead of moving forward, must go back to their pre-evolution states (for some reason, a werewolf).
Tony, LESS
