The story

Algernon is an old man who lives alone, having conversations with a porcelain cat and making things out of bones, for which he boils a neighbor's dead dog. He is visited by an old friend who is dying of ailments and thus commits suicide, leaving a million dollars in a suitcase. A woman claiming to be interested in Algernon's Egyptologist great-grandfather pretends to be in love with Algernon, and he almost falls for it.
