Il dottor Jekyll, medico stimato e rispettabile, ultimamente ha un comportamento strano: rifugge la compagnia degli amici di sempre e frequenta un certo signor Hyde, individuo di estrema malvagità e aspetto ripugnante. Ma perché il medico fa testamento in suo favore? Chi è davvero il misterioso Hyde? Ambientata in una Londra allucinata e circospetta - in città è attivo Jack lo Squartatore - questa fantasia nera di Stevenson ha dato corpo e nome all'idea della doppia personalità. Lo sventurato Jekyll, che con le sue polveri e i suoi alambicchi cerca la possibilità di darsi al vizio senza sentire rimorso, è simbolo e vittima dell'ipocrisia sociale.
