Synopsis[]
David is befriended by a newsstand owner, Harry Henderson, who also happens to be a retired con artist. David is ecstatic when Harry gives him a lottery ticket that ends up winning a $250,000 prize. The new influx of cash can buy some sophisticated science equipment to help him perform the research needed to find a cure for his transformations. Unfortunately, he can't collect the money because doing so would reveal his identity. To get around this problem, he asks Harry to collect the money on his behalf. However, he has other ideas that lead to a great deal of trouble for David.
