The sheriff of Effingham, Missouri asks his friend Clint Adams to help catch what is either a brutal killer or a wild animal. After seeing the corpse, Clint can't imagine who--or what--could have so savagely mutilated the victim. But Romanian immigrant Frederick Talbot knows, and it is his responsibility to hunt down and destroy this predator. For Talbot claims to be a vampire hunter and a werewolf hunter, and he believes one of these creatures followed him to America from the old country. The Gunsmith does not believe in superstitions, but he will team up with Talbot and pack silver bullets instead of lead if it means bringing a murderer to justice.
