A lighthearted, family-friendly comedy about a college student accidentally gaining superhuman strength, built entirely on slapstick humor and good-natured chaos.

Medfield College science major Dexter Riley and his classmates have been working on a new vitamin compound when a lab accident creates a supercharged mix that ends up in Dexter's cereal box, giving him superhuman strength. The powerful formula comes to the attention of the college dean and two rival cereal companies, touching off a hilarious chain of events.
