Description: Edward Jessup is an abnormal psychologist who studies schizophrenia. He begins experimenting with sensory deprivation using a flotation tank, aided by two like-minded researchers. In later experiments, Jessup experiences actual, physical biological devolution. He emerges from the tank as a feral and curiously small-statured, light-skinned caveman, going on a rampage before returning to his natural form.
