Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman

After watching too many horror films, Alvin has nightmares of meeting the Wolfman. He claims to Simon and Dave that this is because their new neighbor, Lawrence Talbot, makes him nervous and speculates that he has a secret. When Alvin causes an accident at the school auditorium, and when Dave gets a call from Miss Miller about the Chipettes being frightened by a mysterious presence while walking home with the Chipmunks one night, Dave and Principal Milliken decide that Alvin should be pulled out of his role as Mr. Hyde in their school play for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Theodore replaces Alvin's role to boost his self-esteem. Alvin is given the role of the butler instead, and Dave confiscates Alvin's monster collection.

Alvin and Simon begin searching for proof that Mr. Talbot is a werewolf. Meanwhile, Theodore is bitten by what he believes to be a large dog on his way home, after a meeting with his crush Eleanor. The next day at the rehearsal, Theodore gives a terrifying performance as Mr. Hyde to great applause. He soon begins transforming into a werewolf by night but behaves like a harmless puppy; by day, he develops a rude, sarcastic personality. Realizing that their brother is cursed with lycanthropy, Alvin and Simon search for a way to cure Theodore, and save the play, without Dave finding out. Finding no solutions, they decide to take up advice from psychic Madame Raya, who claims that Theodore will start behaving like an adult werewolf by the next full moon. She suggests knocking him unconscious with a silver weapon. Alvin later breaks into Mr. Talbot's home and steals his cane, topped with a silver wolf head. Theodore splits the cane in two after Alvin knocks him on the head with it, but he is not cured. However, as he runs away with the cane, he knocks it into Dave. That night, Dave tries to apologize to Mr. Talbot. During the conversation, Talbot mentions an ancestor killed by silver bullets, one of which was made into the cane's wolf head, and turns into a werewolf under the light of the full moon. Dave, realizing that Alvin was telling the truth about Talbot all along, hurries to the school to warn the students but is knocked unconscious after running into a pole. Mr. Talbot makes his way inside and chases after Alvin.

During the play, Theodore transforms again, now acting as a fully hostile adult werewolf, and pursues Eleanor. However, after cornering her, a necklace Theodore gave Eleanor earlier shines in the moonlight, causing Theodore to remember his feelings towards her and flee. Eleanor follows him, determined to help him, only to be almost attacked Mr. Talbot, apparently the same werewolf that bit Theodore. Theodore and Mr. Talbot battle until they bite each other and revert to their normal forms. Simon explains to everyone how the bite cured them by causing the effect to reverse on them both. Alvin runs up to the stage to join in the applause from the crowd, who believes the entire incident was just an act. At the wrap party, Mr. Talbot, expressing gratitude for his release from his family curse, announces he will succeed Milliken as the new school principal while she takes on a less stressful job.
