Gabriel Utterson, a lawyer, discovers that his client and old friend, the reputable gentleman Dr Jekyll, has a strange connection to the despicably behaved Mr Hyde. Jekyll has made Hyde his sole beneficiary in the case of his death or, strangely, his disappearance. Utterson tries to discuss the matter with Jekyll, who turns pale, but assures his friend that everything is in order.
