Max Fidlder (Chevy Chase) is an air traffic controller whose life is slowly going down the drain. His girlfriend has just left him because he becomes jealous of any man she is with, and then everywhere he goes he can't help but run into her with another man, which drives him mad. Then, one night while he's driving, a truck spills nuclear waste all over the place right in front of him, and his sunroof is wide open due to a broken handle. The next day, he notices that he is has developed telekinetic powers. Now, whenever Max becomes jealous he pulls some sort of stunt to stop the good evening of his ex-girlfriend and her new "friend". Finally, he sees himself becoming a monster, and by a fortuitous stroke of lightning, gives his powers to the maid (Nell Carter).
