As the episode begins, we see the respectable Dr. Jekyll attending a dinner party with his fellow physicians. He is well-liked and respected by his peers, including his friend Dr. Lanyon. It is at this party that Jekyll meets the beautiful and innocent Millicent Carew, and they strike up a conversation. Millicent is unaware of Jekyll's darker side, and he finds himself drawn to her pure heart.

As the story progresses, Jekyll becomes more and more obsessed with the idea of separating his good and evil sides. He locks himself in his laboratory for days on end, working on his potion.

The tension reaches a boiling point when Hyde commits a murder. Jekyll is horrified by what he has become, but he can't seem to control his transformations. Millicent confronts Jekyll and demands answers, but he is unable to tell her the truth. Dr. Lanyon discovers Jekyll's laboratory and witnesses his transformation into Hyde. He races to Millicent and reveals the truth to her.

In the climactic scene, Jekyll transforms into Hyde one last time, but this time he is unable to change back. Millicent, Dr. Lanyon, and the police arrive just in time to witness Hyde's death. Jekyll's experiment has ultimately led to his downfall, and he pays the ultimate price for his ambition.
