[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] gets a package from [[Herb Powell]], which contains a chemistry set. Bart thinks it is a bad gift, but [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] tells him that he should try it. They decide to shuffle some things they find in the basement and after they mix in a leaky battery, they believe that the new invention is ready. Bart thinks Milhouse should taste the invention, but he refuses because it smells funny, so Bart tries to taste it but is stopped at the last second by [[Marge Simpson|Marge]]. After Marge leaves to go to the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], Bart tells Milhouse that he has the feeling that they can use the invention, which looks like a liquid, to pull some pranks and they go out to find a suitable place to do their experiment. The bottle that Bart has put the liquid in starts to leak, and when he starts riding his skateboard, he loses his balance and starts to slide down the street before he crashes into a dumpster. Bart does not understand what has happened, but Milhouse sees that the wheels of his skateboard have soaked up the liquid, and he tells Bart that he believes that it makes things go faster. They test the liquid on Milhouse's shoes, but he just slips when he starts walking, and they realize that the liquid makes things slippery. They start to use the liquid on subjects in Springfield, and expose their friends to pranks with the liquid.
