Plot summary
Barnaby Fulton is a chemist at the Oxly chemical company, at work on an elixir of youth. His boss, Oliver Oxly, urges him on. The work absorbs him, and he misses a dinner his wife Edwina has looked forward to. His obsession with the work has dimmed the spark of their marriage. One of his chimpanzees, Esther, gets loose in the lab, blends a beaker of chemicals and tips the result into the water cooler. Unaware of this, Barnaby tries his newest experimental mixture on himself and follows it with water from the cooler.
