American grad student Randi Wallace travels to Britain to study mythology with Prof. Ian Matheson. She arrives expecting a stodgy old academic, but Ian is young, and the two are immediately attracted to one other. That complication quickly pales when Randi spends a night camping on the moors and is bitten by a werewolf. For the rest of the series, Randi and Ian investigate supernatural phenomena together while they search for a cure for Randi's curse. Eventually, their search takes them from British academia to American TV, when they move back to Randi's native California, and Ian becomes host of a trashy TV talk show focusing on psychic phenomena. The series was an old-style romantic comedy with a touch of horror.

Movie Quote(s):
- Randi: How much kinkier can you get than turning into a werewolf once a month?
-
[showing Randi his new kitchen] Ian: This is where I shall prepare our gourmet feasts. Randi: You mean where you unwrap them and stick them in the microwave? Ian: A good chef never reveals his secrets.
-
Alan Decker: It's okay. I'm used to the callous attitude mortals have towards vampires. I'm used to wandering the earth - reviled, hunted, hated. That's why I became a lawyer.
-
Ian: I'm dead, you're a werewolf. What a delightful couple. Imagine our children.
-
Movie Trivia:
- A joint American/English production, the first 14 episodes were produced entirely in England. When the English backers dropped out, the production moved to Los Angeles, all of the English supporting cast were dropped, Dr. Matheson became a occult talk-show host, and the show was renamed "Love and Curses."
-
According to Lee Goldberg in an article in Comics Scene#46, at one point, the producers planned on producing a companion series involving vampires for She-Wolf of London. That series would have featured Blade, the vampire hunter later played by Wesley Snipes, as a globe-trotting vampire hunter. However, these plans got scuttled.
