Plot
Richard Enfield tells a gruesome tale of assault. The
tale describes a sinister figure named Mr. Hyde who
tramples a young girl, disappears into a door on the
street, and re-emerges to pay off her relatives with a
check signed by a respectable gentleman. Because both
Utterson and Enfield disapprove of gossip, they agree to
speak no further of the matter.

It happens, however,
that one of Utterson’s clients and close friends, Dr.
Henry Jekyll, has written a will transferring all of his
property to this same Mr. Hyde. Soon, Utterson begins
having dreams in which a faceless figure stalks through
a nightmarish version of London.
