Jack, Lissa, and Buck visit a carnival outside Los Angeles where a
sinister Swami has foreseen the Werewolf’s arrival and thus manages to
entrance and capture Jack for the sideshow. Thinking Jack has abandoned
them, Buck and Lissa head home. Once the moon is out, the animal tamer
has difficulty controlling the new Werewolf attraction.
Meanwhile, the local authorities have discovered Joshua Kane’s
notes from the site of his and his brother’s murders and are now aware
of a Werewolf stalking the area.
Notes

Swami Rihva’s mental powers pacify the Werewolf and the other beasts

he wakes up, Jack learns from Elmo, the friendly strongman, that Rihva
specifically wanted a creature of the supernatural for a ritual to
activate a mystical bloodstone said to lead to its creator’s hidden
treasure. When Buck and Lissa return to the carnival to look for Jack,
Rihva entrances them as well to deal with them. The next night, when
Rihva begins the blood ritual with the Werewolf, Elmo stops him, not
realizing until then that the ritual would involve killing Jack. In the
fight that breaks out, the Werewolf breaks free. Rihva tries to hold
Lissa hostage, but she snaps out of her trance when she sees her
brother. Rihva then falls to the horrifying images he sees in the
Werewolf’s enraged mind.

A prisoner, being escorted from a jungle colony by a police officer,

it until the curse has been removed, but if he goes back to the voodoo
tribe, they will kill him. What will happen to him? What? What???
