Seit Jugendtagen weiß der Wissenschaftler Dr. Jekyll um die Spaltung seiner Persönlichkeit: Gut und Böse ringen in ihm. Mit Hilfe eines geheimnisvollen Elixiers setzt er schließlich die dunkle Seite seines Ichs frei, doch der mysteriöse Mr. Hyde wird immer mächtiger und droht das Gute zu verschlingen...
