PLOT: Kolchak is assigned to a singles-oriented cruise ship where a savage man-wolf preys upon the passengers & crew during the full moon. (The werewolf is played by Eric Braeden, aka Victor from The Young and the Restless).
COMMENTARY: I like the change of location with the entire episode taking place on the vessel. There are numerous quality shots of the ship sailing the wide-open seas. Aside from the monster-of-the-week, this segment's notable for voluptuous & perky Jackie Russell as Wendy, who has a quality scene in a black bikini, and Nita Talbot as Paula, who becomes Kolchak's gal pal. The werewolf is formidable and the melees are thrilling, but the creature make-up is almost laughable. It looks like nothing more than a guy in a suit with brown fur on his face and hands, no fangs.
