Edison is a surfer and a struggling inventor who always seems to come up with unique, crazy and bizarre inventions, like a motorized skateboard or a keyboard that sounds like a guitar. Despite his best efforts, he can't seem to catch a break until he meets a beautiful woman named Natalie (Courtney Thorne-Smith) who works for Armand McMillan (Larry Miller), a wealthy businessman. Natalie is intrigued by Edison's inventions and decides to introduce him to McMillan, who is always looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition.

Edison showcases his latest invention- a high-tech surfboard with an artificial intelligence chip, that can predict the waves better than any human. McMillan is impressed and offers Edison a job in his company, but he is hesitant. However, after McMillan has a heart attack, he asks Edison to lead the company as the new CEO. Edison accepts the job and moves into McMillan's luxurious mansion.

Edison's life changes drastically as he struggles with his new role, tries to battle the corrupt executives who work in McMillan's company and makes numerous adjustments to suit his odd personality to the corporate world.

With excellent humor and a high-energy performance from Scott 'Carrot Top' Thompson, the movie is engaging and entertaining.
