Dr. Henry Jekyll is a dull, bookish scientist who spends more time with his lab animals testing theories of alternate personalities than with his beautiful, young wife. Kitty Jekyll has given up trying to find any passion in her distant, preoccupied husband and is involved in an affair with one of Jekylls old friends, Paul Allen, a weak slacker and wastrel who relies on Jekyll to pay his numerous gambling debts. After experimenting on himself, the bearded, tweedy Jekyll transforms himself into the young, dynamic, and self-confidant Edward Hyde. In his new character he befriends Allen, who has no idea that this clean-cut, handsome playboy prone to outbursts of violence is really Jekyll. As Hyde, he encourages Allen to introduce him to the dark underbelly of Londons night life including opium dens and sex clubs, where he begins an affair with the sensual courtesan Maria, an exotic dancer and snake charmer. When he tries to seduce Allens mistress, in reality his own wife, he is frustrated to find she prefers her decadent lover to him.
Dr. Henry Jekyll is experimenting with what he believes is the dual nature of all men: that there is in everyone both a good and an evil side of their personality that is in constant conflict. Hes been publicly ridiculed for his theories but he presses on. His wife Kitty worries about him and tells him she very much dislikes his friend Paul Allen who she feels is taking advantage of him. That doesnt stop her from going out dancing with him however and soon falls in love with him. Alone in his lab, Jekyll injects himself with a solution hes developed - and a new personality emerges, that of Mr. Hyde. The use of the drug causes his entire metabolism to accelerate. He decides to exact his revenge on Allen and Kitty.
