This film is another
Disney comedy romp that takes place at the ubiquitous Medfield College. The plot kicks in when an interview, in which
Professor Quigley (
William Schallert) is denied a much-needed computer by apoplectic college president
Dean Higgins (
Joe Flynn), is broadcast to a student assembly. In order to help
Quigley, the students convince rich college benefactor
A.J. Arno (
Cesar Romero) to donate a computer to the school instead of his usual 20,000-dollar contribution.
Dexter (
Kurt Russell), the student leader, attempts to repair the computer, but the machine is struck by lightning and transforms
Dexter into a human being with the hard drive of the computer. Since the computer's memory is now in
Dexter's brain, he now has information on his human memory chip about
Arno's illegal gambling operations. When
Dean Higgins puts
Dexter on a televised competition for a prize of 100,000 dollars to benefit the college, every time the word "applejack" comes up during the game show, it triggers
Dexter to regurgitate a rundown of
Arno's illegal activities. In order to stop
Dexter from exposing him,
Arno kidnaps
Dexter and hides him at his country estate. Dressing up as housepainters,
Dexter's classmates come to
Arno's mansion to rescue him.
