The story

Dr. Henry Jekyll dedicates his life to the curing of all known illnesses; however, his lecherous friend Professor Robertson remarks that Jekyll's experiments take so long to be discovered, he will no doubt be dead by the time he achieves anything. Haunted by this remark, Jekyll abandons his studies and obsessively begins searching for an elixir of life, using female hormones taken from fresh cadavers supplied by murderers William Burke and William Hare, reasoning that these hormones will help him to extend his life since women traditionally live longer than men and have stronger systems.
