Comfortable, amiable Daniel Boone Brown, a resident of New York's waterfront, becomes the victim of a mad scientist's psychological experiments. For days, Dr. Ulrich Metz messes up Daniel's life, bringing on failing health, restless sleep, a nervous and irritable disposition, tardiness for work, and superstitions that cause worry and fear. Several months into the ordeal, one of Metz's minions, hired as Daniel's livery, feeds him a midnight snack of spring onions, lobster, Welsh rarebit, and mince pie. The contents of his stomach cause him visible pain and distress; then he has vivid and surreal nightmares. Will Metz succeed in driving Daniel to suicide?
