Plot summary
Dean Higgins of Medfield College is told by the Board of Regents that the school's finances could cost him his job, so he promises a fundraising campaign. He finds that Prof. Quigley has spent heavily on an experiment to build a food supplement that makes people stronger, including a rented cow, and fires him. When a door slams, Dexter Riley's chemical experiment spills into Richard Schuyler's vitamin cereal mix. The cow eats the cereal and gives an endless supply of milk. Dexter eats it the next morning and gains superhuman strength, which he demonstrates to Higgins and Quigley. Higgins takes the cereal to Harriet Crumply, who backs Medfield in a weight-lifting contest against Krinkle Krunch and its State College team.
