In the story, a brilliant but eccentric scientist is on the brink of a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of teleportation. He has developed a set of "telepods" that can instantly transport objects from one pod to another. After successfully teleporting inanimate objects, he decides to conduct the ultimate experiment on himself. However, unbeknownst to him, a housefly quietly enters the telepod alongside him, leading to unforeseen consequences. The scientist's initial euphoria over the success of the human teleportation experiment quickly turns to horror as he realizes the fusion of his DNA with that of the fly's.

As the scientist begins to exhibit strange and alarming changes, both physically and behaviorally, a romantic interest who is also a journalist, senses that something is profoundly wrong. Despite her deep feelings for the scientist, her concern grows as his condition worsens, compelling her to investigate the true nature of the teleportation experiment. Meanwhile, the scientist’s obsession with his transformation and the potential of his discovery blurs the line between genius and madness, propelling them all down a path of tragic and horrific possibilities.
