In 1893, aspiring writer and inventor Creator/HGWells ([=McDowell=]) invites some friends over to dinner, where he shows them one of his latest inventions -- [[Literature/TheTimeMachine a device he claims can travel through time]]. Despite the general mockery he receives, one of them -- a surgeon called John Leslie Stevenson (Warner) -- takes particular interest in his claims, and not for no reason; moments after, the police intrude into Wells' home, claiming to have traced none other than UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper to the premises. When a search reveals that Stevenson has disappeared, Wells realises that not only is Stevenson the Ripper, but that he has used Wells' time machine to escape into the future and evade justice.

Armor Piercing Slap is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 17 (click to see context) :
* ArmorPiercingSlap: When Wells first catches up to Jack in the future, he attempts to reason with him, explaining that they don't belong there. Jack goes into a speech about how much he relishes the violent world he's discovered, and how easy it is to buy guns with cash, until finally the normally peaceful Wells can't take it anymore, slaps him in the face, and screams, "Stop it!"

* RealityEnsues: A double-whammy. Wells eventually has to accept that his pacifism can't prevent Stevenson from killing more women, and he buys a pistol to stop him and protect Amy. Unfortunately, he also finds out that if the police already suspect you of being the murderer and want you for questioning, it's a pretty bad time for them to catch you with a gun in your pocket.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: While preparing to portray Wells, Creator/MalcolmMcDowell obtained a recording of Wells speaking, and was horrified to hear that Wells spoke in a high-pitched, squeaky voice with a pronounced Southeast London accent. [=McDowell=] felt would have resulted in {{Narm}} if he tried to mimic it for the film.
