The aging and ailing Will accepts a demotion while his unscrupulous protégé Stewart Swinton is given his previous position. Will meets Alden's headstrong but little-accomplished daughter, Laura. Will soon finds his vitality increased and his senses sharpened, which leads him suspecting his wife Charlotte and Swinton are having an affair after smelling Swinton's scent on Charlotte's clothing. Will's suspicion is confirmed when he surprises the two in Swinton's apartment. He angrily bites Swinton's hand before leaving Charlotte.
