Doc Merrick displays the effectiveness of his secret chemical solution to tenderize meat: an extract of the papaya fruit, containing an enzyme called Papien which, when mixed with Merrick's secret catalytic agent, creates a solution which acts like Pepsin, a digestive enzyme found in the human body. Together they plan to undercut their competitors in the meat business by dipping cheap cuts into the solution and creating high grade steak. Although Winkler kills Merrick to get all the profits from this partnership, he unexpectedly drinks some of the solution which dissolves him from the inside.
