The first professional example produced by this award-winning filmartist, it is visually a one line gag showing Mr. Hyde changing back to Dr. Jekyll, then fearing to open the door when his friends come to visit. We then see his friends, who look like Mr. Hyde, and we realize the reason for his discomfiture. As with the chicken and the egg, this film plays with the question of who came first: Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
