A Romany princess descended from Marie LaTour has the ability to change into a wolf at will, just like her late mother.

Trivia
This is often cited as the first film to have a female werewolf in it, but an early short silent called The Werewolf (which is indeed the first werewolf film ever made) used that plot device first. Unfortunately this film is now lost.
