Plot summary
Kenny has his cousin Arnold Berman on his hands for the whole summer while Arnold is home from college. Arnold is an uptight Business major, sharp at accounting and hopeless at nearly everything else. Kenny and his friend Rollo introduce Arnold to marijuana in the hope of loosening him up. It is Arnold's first time, and he loves it. The newly relaxed student uses his accounting skill to sell the drug the way a corporation would, and the trade soon grows into a multimillion-dollar grass-dealing enterprise with executive offices, a fleet of trucks, group coverage, and a little league team.
