Marmaduke Tallinn, a fantasy writer, and his editor Lemuel Hoskins are locked in a heated dispute over a story that Tallinn is writing for the magazine Hoskins edits. To prove his point, Tallinn introduces Hoskins to a university Professor who has experimented on a monkey to enable it to write stories based on a given style and flavour. The professor demonstrates the monkey's ability by asking Hoskins for a random sample of writing; Hoskins recites two stanzas from G.K. Chesterton's poem Lepanto, and the monkey produces a copy of the next stanza that, spelling errors aside, matches Chesterton's original text exactly. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936 was an influential English writer of the early 20th century
The monkey is then given Tallinn's unfinished story to consider; it finishes the story exactly as the editor requested, inserting a scene change where Tallinn wanted to leave it out. Tallinn declares this as proof of his point: if he changes his story to match Hoskins' request, he is no better than a machine or a monkey. Hoskins accepts Tallinn's argument and takes the story as-is.
The professor later asks Tallinn what he would have said if the monkey had reproduced his version of the story, instead of the version Hoskins originally wanted; Tallinn reveals, embarrassed, that he initially believed that that was exactly what would happen.
