Plot summary
Superstitious locals shun the isolated manor house in rural England where Dr. Laurience keeps his equipment and works with a wheelchair-using confederate named Clayton. In his laboratory Laurience demonstrates a method for moving memory, habits and soul between monkeys, but the British scientific community rejects his theories. Clare Wyatt, a surgeon he met in Genoa, joins him and becomes essential to the household and the bench. Dick Haslewood, an investigative reporter, courts Clare while trying to discover what the experiments involve. His father, the publisher Lord Haslewood, then offers to fund the work as a publicity stunt for his newspapers.
