At midnight on Christmas Eve in the mid-19th century, somewhere in Russia, two fugitives fleeing persecution stop by the roadside for the woman to have her baby. The mother dies, and the father is slaughtered by wolves. However, the wolves protect the baby instead of killing it, and the baby grows into a wild boy.

Years later, a trio of circus performers find the boy out in the woods and use him as an attraction called the "Wolf Boy". He is named Etoile, and loses his wolfish aspects and his public appeal as he grows up. One night, Etoile changes into a werewolf influenced by the full moon and kills a circus member.
