Inspector Pierce is a police inspector played by Dennis Hoey in the movie She-Wolf of London. The chief of Scotland Yard, Pierce was baffled by a number of brutal attacks occurring in one of London's public parks each full moon. Those who survived claimed it was a "wolf woman", and Pierce's assistant, Latham, was convinced it was a werewolf. Pierce did not believe so, at least not until Latham was killed and, with his dying breath, said he'd been attacked by a wolf woman. Of course, even then it turned out that the killer was not supernatural at all, but merely Phyllis Allenby's aunt, Martha Winthrop.

“For rigorous teachers seized my youth,
And purged its faith, and trimm’d its fire,
Show’d me the high, white star of Truth,
There bade me gaze, and there aspire.
Even now their whispers pierce the gloom:
What dost thou in this living tomb?”
