Synopsis

In an experiment, two Martians give vacuum-cleaner salesman and perennial loser Luther Dingle superhuman strength. Discovering his new powers, Dingle starts performing various tricks from lifting statues to splitting boulders—and starts gaining lots of publicity.

The Martians become disappointed that he only uses his strength for show and take it away just as he attempts to lift a building before a live TV audience. Unable to make good his claims, he is made a laughing-stock.

As the Martians leave, they bump into two Venusians searching for an Earthling to try their experiment on. The Martians recommend Dingle. So the Venusians give Dingle super-intelligence. Discovering his new powers, Dingle starts thinking aloud at an alarming rate and demonstrates incredible powers of prediction.
