As the story opens, Mr. Pelham arrives at his town club in a disturbed mood. The bartender greets him, remarking that he is a bit early. Pelham meets Dr. Harley and tells him that there is another man, an exact double of Pelham, who is in the city. Further, the double has deliberately impersonated Pelham on many occasions. His exact double is not only taking on Pelham's social life, but his double dictates letters and shows an incomprehensible knowledge of every facet of Pelham's business. As Pelham tells the story to the doctor, he reveals that he has no persecution complex, but does feel that the double is moving in closer and closer until one day the double will have taken over Pelham's life completely. watch
