Dr.. Harris is a juror in the trial of a man named Dr. Foreman, who is accused of the murder of a young girl named Roberta Sampson. The trial is over, and the jury adjourns to deliberate. The foreman, Mr. Sutcliffe, calls for a vote. One by one, the first eleven jurors, Sutcliffe, Mr. Eastman, Mr. Asher, Mrs. Martin, Miss Mills, Mr. Hopkins, Miss Nichol, Mr. McKee, Mrs. Preston, Mrs. Taylor, and Dr. Harris, vote "guilty". The last man, however, Dr. Smith, votes "not guilty". Dr. Smith proceeds to explain his vote. He points out a piece of evidence mostly ignored by the others. The defendant shot the girl with a gun using silver bullets. Dr. Harris is appalled to learn that Dr. Smith is suggesting that the girl was a werewolf and that the killing was in self-defence.
