Storyline
Slim and Tubby are American cops in London to study police tactics. They wind up in jail and are bailed out by Dr. Jekyll. Jekyll has been murdering fellow doctors who laugh at his experiments. He has more murders in mind. At one point the serum that turns Jekyll into the murderous Hyde gets injected into Tubby. Written by Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>

Tubby: Now listen Slim. All I know is that I locked up the monster and when I came back, Dr. Jekyll was there. You know I'm no magician.

Trivia
Despite clearly being a departure from the usual Jekyll/Hyde story, two classic characters are referenced. The victim of Hyde in the opening scene is Dr. Poole. In previous versions, Poole is the name of Jekyll's butler. Jekyll also mentions a Dr. Lanson, who is clearly a reference to Jekyll's good friend Dr. Lanyon See more »Goofs
The demonstrators for votes for women are referred to as "suffragettes." That was the American term; in Britain they were called "suffragists." See more »Quotes
Slim: Now look! You can't make two persons out of one. If there's a monster, there's a monster. If there's a Dr. Jekyll, there's a Dr. Jekyll. But one can't be the other.Tubby: Now listen Slim. All I know is that I locked up the monster and when I came back, Dr. Jekyll was there. You know I'm no magician.
