The story

Sir John Rowan is a prominent plastic surgeon with a beautiful and youthful fiancée named Lynn, who works as a fashion model. At a raucous party, Rowan – much older than any of the other attendees, and clearly uncomfortable around the countercultural excess of the late 1960s – gets into a physical altercation with a sleazy photographer, and during the scuffle, a hot lamp falls on Lynn, severely scarring her face. Rowan pledges to reverse Lynn's disfigurement, experimenting with laser technology to revive her skin and eventually coming up with a cure-all: a Frankensteinian transplant of pituitary glands.
