A shy bachelor who teaches chemistry must decide whether to accept a lucrative offer to head a private research department or remain in his familiar academic life.

The tale follows his inward ethical debate about ambition, obligation, and personal comfort while juxtaposing mundane small-town routines with the comic strangeness of an otherworldly visitor, exploring values and social friction without sensationalism.
