Synopsis
Henry Jekell (Breslaw) was always the outsider, a bungling, and awkward buffoon, relegated to waiting for his invitation to participate in life that never arrived. Until he discovers a medical formula developed by a dead uncle, which claimed to turn 'a man of timid disposition into a bold, fearless dragon'. Taking a draught of the elixir Henry is transformed into suave, sophisticated and highly desirable Teddy Hyde. Armed with his new persona Teddy is ready to face the world but is Henry ready for the consequences!
