Edison has put his rent money into another invention that will not sell, and his landlady, Ms. Krubavitch, is threatening to evict him. His roommates Ty and Zak tell him to find work, but none of the jobs he tries brings in money. By the side of the road he meets Armand McMillan, a wealthy magnate whose car has broken down, and Edison uses his inventions to assist him. Armand is impressed by his ingenuity, and the pair go surfing together. When Armand dies, a recorded message leaves Edison 45% of the shares in McMillan Industries, while Armand's nephew Bradford inherits only a surfboard.
