Plot
Dr. Richard Jacks is a perfumer working at a major fragrance company. His projects have failed and the chief executive, Mrs. Unterveldt rejects his latest perfume, claiming that it is a woman's perfume, and she wants a woman working on it. After his great-uncle dies, Richard attends the will reading. He receives nothing but old notes from scientific experiments and discovers that he is the great-grandson of Dr. Henry Jekyll. He then decides to add more estrogen to his ancestor's original formula, hoping to perfect it. He ingests the serum, but after waiting all night, nothing happens. Richard attends a job interview at a restaurant, where he suddenly undergoes a transformation. His features become more feminine, including longer fingernails and hair. As his chest begins to swell, Richard runs out of the restaurant and back to his work lab. After finding a mirror, he discovers he now has breasts, much to his shock.
