When grandfather Watson wishes at his 81st birthday to have the life of an eighteen year-old, he finds himself inhabiting the body of David. This gives the old man a chance to win a school track meet that his grandson had no chance to win. He also has a chance to put moves on a girl Robin (Jennifer Runyon) his grandson has shied away from As the old man, young David is stuck in a body in a coma for the most part.
