College student Wes agrees to be a test subject in a psychological experiment involving shock treatments. The experiment goes wrong, but he and Susan, the cute scientist who performed the experiment, hit it off right away. Unfortunately, she's already engaged to a sleazy rich guy called Whitley whom her elitist mother adores. Wes and Susan get help in dealing with the situation from her down-to-earth rich granddad, who suspects that Whitley is only with Susan for her money.
