The story is set on an island in the Pacific Ocean where a group of scientists is conducting experiments to create a new form of life. The protagonist, Dr. Paul Tourneau, is a scientist who is working on the project. He falls in love with a beautiful woman named Rosamund, who is also on the island. However, their romance is complicated by the fact that Rosamund is engaged to another man. As the experiment progresses, strange things start happening on the island, and the scientists begin to question the ethics of their work.
