Henry Hull as Wilfred Glendon, a wealthy and world-renowned English botanist, travels to Tibet in search of the extremely rare Mariphasa lumina lupina, a plant rumored to draw its strength from the moon. There, he is attacked and bitten by a feral humanoid creature, yet he seizes a specimen of Mariphasa.
