they all make mistakes.

But I forgive them. I don't hold grudges.

Dean Higgins, nice to see you.

- [Higgins] Always a pleasure to see you.

- [Arno] Thank you.

What's going on around here?

Arno took over the mortgage

on the college.

He told Dean Higgins that

if he can't make the payment in June,

- to make it whenever he could.

- Sure doesn't sound like Arno.

That's why Dean Higgins

is walking around on airs.

It's the first time

he hasn't had to worry about money.

But I don't understand it.

That guy's a crook.

Crook or no crook,

he's interested in higher education.

He's already dreamed up

improvements for the school.

That's where he is now.

Dean Higgins is showing him around.

I have to run off to a teacher's meeting.

Anything else you need?

No, Professor, I'm just gonna work

on my experiment for a while.

Holy smoke.

The whole thing's burned out.

How come mine and nobody else's?

Oh, boy.

Oh, no.

Gotta be in there somewhere.

That stuff must eat everything alive.

I'll bet I gotta replace everything.

[Tapping]

A vector is any quantity

such as a force of velocity

that has direction as well as amount.

I've done it.

I've really done it.

- Hi.

- Hi, Dexter.

What have you done to your glasses?

You look ridiculous.

I've done it!

[Schuylar] Your fingers!

- You better get to the hospital right away.

- I'll call an ambulance.

There's nothing to be worried about.

You see, my fingers are all there.

- They're just invisible.

- Invisible?

I don't know how it works, but it works.

Let me show you.

Now this is the stuff that does it.

It's incredible.

But the main thing is,

I can make myself invisible.

Can you imagine? Look!

Look, human flesh, invisible!

You mean, you just stuck your hand in that

stuff and your fingers became invisible?

That's all there is to it.

Look, you try it.

- Me?

- Why not?

I don't think I better.

I mean, I'm not much

on this science business.

In fact, I don't even know

what I'm doing in this class.

- Schuylar, there's nothing to be afraid of.

- I'm not afraid.

Then you do it.

Look at 'em!

They're gone, but they're there.

This is incredible.

Dexter, how do we make

our fingers visible again?

- That shouldn't be any problem.

- Are you sure?

Of course!

Look, it's just a solution.

It should come right off.

There, see.

- Give me that towel.

- Don't panic, Debbie.

I'm not panicking.

Dexter, what have you done to me?

What are you people doing in here?

- Nothing.

- I wouldn't call it nothing.

I mean, this thing has quite a history.

You've probably heard of the famous

Russian scientist, Bersokoff.

Nobody wants to hear

anything about Bersokoff.

Now, Mr. Arno,

we've got a simply marvelous...

experiment over here by one

of our honor students, Druffle.

He's working on a very interesting

theory on bumble bees.

You see, according to all

the laws of aerodynamics

when you consider the mass of their body

to their wingspread, they shouldn't fly at all.

- Then how come they do?

- I don't know.

That's what Druffle's trying to find out.

What a day to bring Mr. Arno up here.

You certainly have quite a view from here.

It's an entirely different perspective.

Do you mind if my architect

takes a look at it?

Your architect? You think he'd like it?

That'd be wonderful.

It's quite a view indeed.

Goodbye, young lady. Son?

- Goodbye, Hector.

- Dexter.

Yeah, Dexter.

What is the matter with everybody's

right hand around here?

They've been working

on Dexter's experiment

and they might have

got something on them.

If they've got something on them,

why don't they wash them?

I never thought of that.

It did it.

Water takes it off!

It's amazing.

Dean Higgins, you're a genius.

You know, it just doesn't figure.

Arno gets out of prison

and picks up the mortgage on this place.

Next thing you know, he wants to bring

over his architect and remodel.

A.J. Arno just doesn't

do favors for people.

Yeah. What was so interesting

out this window?

I don't know.

He's sure up to something.

And we're gonna find out what it is.

I know, I know!

This afternoon you said you'd do it.

How come you changed your mind?

This afternoon it was

just my hand. Tonight it's all of me.

But it's the same principle.

When we're through, we wet you down

and you'll be yourself again.

But it's when I'm not myself

that I don't like it.

It's too late to back out on me now.

I need you.

Oh, no!

- Wait a minute, don't forget the camera.

- [Dexter] Thanks. Come on, let's go.

- Be careful, you guys!

- [Dexter] We will, don't worry.

- [Schuylar] I don't like this at all.

- [Dexter] I don't either,

- but we have to find out what Arno's up to.

- How do you know he's up to anything?

Because he's a crook. And he bought

the mortgage on Midfield College.

Why would a crook

like Arno want to do that?

[Schuylar] I don't know, don't ask me.

Don't ask me anything at all.

Why not?

Because if I knew anything,

I wouldn't be here in the first place.

- [Schuylar] Did you hear that?

- [Dexter] What?

- [Schuylar] That slushing sound.

- [Dexter] You hear it too?

[Dexter] It stopped now.

[Schuylar] Wait a minute,

my shoes are visible!

[Dexter] That's what

the slushing sound was.

You must've stepped

in some water somewhere.

[Schuylar] This looks pretty good,

doesn't it?

Schuylar, will you quit playing around

and come on?

Okay.

- [Schuylar] Good, the door's locked.

- [Dexter] Look out! Somebody's coming.

Mr. Arno, leaving his tennis shoes

out to be shined.

Must be going nuts, or something.

[Groaning]

Ow!

[Dexter] I'll hit the filing cabinet,

you look in his desk.

[Schuylar] His desk is locked.

I guess I just better look around.

- [Dexter] Medfield.

- [Schuylar] That would be under "M."

[Dexter] I know what it would be under.

Medfield College.

That's it.

[Schuylar] There's another room over here.

- What's in it?

- Some sort of model.

[Dexter] "Dear Mr. Arno,

In regard to your inquiry,

"the law of 1912 permitting gambling

"on the Medfield property is still in effect."

[Dexter] I've really

stumbled onto something here.

[Schuylar] I found something, too.

It's a model of the school. Evidently,

Arno's planning on changing it a lot.

- It has the craziest football field ever.

- What's so crazy about it?

[Schuylar] It has no goal post

and there's a lake in the middle of it.

[Dexter] Never heard of that!

- What are you talking about?

- See what I mean!

[Dexter] That's not a football field anymore,

that's a dog track.

[Schuylar] A dog track?

[Dexter] He's turning the college

into a gambling joint.

Look where the gym used to be.

Arno's Golden Horseshoe Club.

[Schuylar] The casino is replacing

the library.

[Dexter] I knew that guy was up

to something.

"Arno Town."

Wait'll Dean Higgins gets a load of this.

Is he gonna change

his opinion about A.J. Arno!

[Schuylar] Excuse me!

[Gun firing]

Wait, you!

Come back here, whoever you are!
