An overweight London clubman becomes obsessed with losing fat and persuades a friend to share a mysterious family remedy. Instead of slimming normally, the potion removes almost all of his weight, causing him to float helplessly against ceilings like a balloon. Forced to live in secret with lead-lined clothing and bizarre household adaptations, he becomes a tragic and absurd victim of reckless experimentation.
