An old man wakes to find his brain has been transplanted into the body of his secretary he lusted after. To top it off, her mind is somehow still intact and they have hilarious back and forths.

One good example is when he FINALLY has sex the for first time in his new body and says to the conciseness within, "Why didn't you tell me?"

She says, "Tell you what?"

He says, "That it's so much BETTER!"

She says, "How would I know?"
