Ben White (Reb Brown) attends the funeral of his sister, journalist Karen White, the heroine of The Howling (film). Ben meets both Jenny Templeton (Annie McEnroe), one of Karen's colleagues, and Stefan Crosscoe (Christopher Lee), a mysterious interloper who tells him Karen was a werewolf. Providing videotaped evidence of the transformation – and turning up to destroy Karen as her undead body rises from the grave – Crosscoe convinces Ben and Jenny to accompany him to Transylvania to battle Stirba (Sybil Danning), an immortal werewolf queen. Along the way, the trio encounter Mariana (Marsha Hunt (actress, born 1946)), another lusty werewolf siren, and her minion, Erle (Ferdy Mayne).
