Taking one of these pills every day makes Eddy a mega-IQ genius with endless mental power, he soon puts this power to good use and gets involved with high end business men, making him a lot of money and king of Wall Street.

Not forgetting that an unauthorised pill such as this will eventually have some physical effects.

Great film; possibly lacking a little bit in plot, but definitely worth watching for the thrill of seeing what this magical pill can do.
