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.
