Synopsis

The retiring professor in a university chemistry department chooses Al, a mediocre scientist but a brilliant administrator, to succeed him as department head.

Al begins reorganizing the department, but finds that Christopher, his peer and rival, and Elinor, his one-time teacher, are unwilling to change the isolated way they work.

Christopher announces a major breakthrough, which should assure prosperity - but has disastrous results.
