While installing a replacement part during a thunderstorm, Reilly receives an electric shock and becomes a human computer.

Reilly single-handedly leads Medfield's team in victories against other colleges. During the tournament, a trigger word causes Reilly to unknowingly recite on television details of Arno's gambling ring. Arno's henchmen kidnap Reilly and plan to kill him, but his friends help him escape, by having the home of A J Arno's home being painted, and in the rescue effort, they put paint in the gas tanks in the henchman's cars, causing them not to start, and following a brief chase, Arno ends up in a pile of hay.
