Synopsis/Details
A wedding eve party is in full swing on the Prescott estate in the English countryside, late 1800s. Tomorrow young Master Lawrence Prescott will be joined in matrimony to a mysterious young Slobobian (don't even ask) princess, Elizabeth. The princess's family has established a summer residence nearby.
The Prescotts are desperate for this marriage to be consummated, hoping the royal Slobobian coffers can shore up the dwindling Prescott fortunes.
But there's a catch. Indeed, two. First, the princess and her family are peasants merely pretending to be royalty. And second, the princess begs Master Lawrence to call off the nuptials, revealing that she's a werewolf.
Things get farcically zany from there.
The princess runs off to the moors. There she encounters a young commoner from the village who is returning from an unsuccessful moonlight Romeo-like visit to his uppercrust sweetheart, having been repelled by the girl’s hostile grandparents.
He makes advances to the Princess and is torn within an inch of his life when she transforms into a werewolf.
Meanwhile, a search party has been formed to find the Princess, a gypsy is consulted, and an amulet is devised to lift the girl's curse.
But something goes awry -- the curse is on again, a crazed doctor who has discovered the Princess’ secret when the young mauled lad is brought to his office, is determined to put a halt to the wedding.
Master Lawrence himself discovers that he is a werewolf.
All gather in the church for an uproarious and very hairy set of marriage vows.
