A busy executive is in need of a new secretary and one appears who quite quickly and forcefully imposes herself into his office, and his life. She advises him on his appointments, his work, and his life. She suggests ways he can make himself look younger, be more forceful, and more successful by changing his appearance and his attitude. He is not one to be easily swayed and holds on to his character with vigour. Eventually, she wears him down and as he begins the metamorphosis, his old self cries out from the mirror to stop, not to kill his old self, to rid himself of this new influence.
