A brilliant but morbidly obese and kind-hearted professor invents a weight-loss potion. The formula transforms him into a slim, arrogant, and outgoing alter ego. This new persona wins him popularity and romance, but his monstrously egotistical side begins to take over, threatening to destroy his career and his true self.
