On episode three of Zoltan the Wolf Man, Peter informs Zoltan of a new commission they have received for an upcoming Hollywood fantasy movie. For this commission, Zoltan will have to train a stuntwoman named Virag to work with the wolves. Virag has never done work with live predators and appears to have some apprehensions about the job. Zoltan quickly introduces Virag to the wolves and both the wolves and Virag become more comfortable with each other. The first order of business is to get a shot of a wolf growling and showing its teeth in close proximity to Virag. To do this, Zoltan must interrupt a wolf while it is eating so that the wolf will react and protect its food. Zoltan and another wolf are used to make the first wolf feel threatened while Virag lies in position nearby. The cameraman is able to capture the action and the first part of the scene is complete.

This time on Zoltan the Wolf Man… Zoltan, Peter, and the wolves are off to southern Estonia, for a new commission. Before making the long trip to Estonia, Zoltan must attend to a few important issues at the training centre. It is mating season, and the wolves, especially the females, are behaving particularly aggressively. This makes training at the Horkai Centre very difficult, as the wolves are antagonistic and have very little interest in participating in any training exercises. Zoltan must separate the male wolves from the female wolves in order to maintain peace within the packs, and also to avoid any unplanned litters, which the training centre is not equipped to deal with at the moment.
