The story centers on London doctor Henry Jekyll and his involvement with a criminal named Edward Hyde. After Hyde murders the father of Jekyll’s fiancée, Jekyll’s friends discover that the doctor and Hyde are the same person. Jekyll has developed a potion that allows him to transform into Hyde and back again.

But what will happen when the potion runs out?
