Professor Jones (Tom Poston) is an absent-minded scholar of ancient languages who comes across a rare old coin. The coin possesses the power to inflict pain or slow motion on the intended victim at the simple point of a finger. A combination of the two inflictions causes death. Soon the Pentagon and Russian secret agents converge on the befuddled teacher and try to get the magic coin from him in this comedic fantasy. Margaret Dumont plays the role of the blue-blooded wife of the confused university dean.
