However, things take an unexpected turn when they discover that the study involves Peter receiving electric shocks to his brain to make him smarter.

Excited by his newfound intelligence, Peter decides to use his brainpower to become a Renaissance man. He learns multiple languages, takes up painting, and even becomes a skilled musician. However, his new persona doesn't sit well with his friends and family, who miss the fun-loving and lovably dumb Peter they know and love.
