Eddie doesn't want to go back to school. He is upset that his school nickname is Shorty. First, Grandpa tries to teach Eddie boxing, but Herman is against it. Grandpa then figures the solution is to make one of his famous secret potions.
He makes one that will make Eddie grow six inches in height overnight. It grows him a beard instead. Herman takes Eddie to see Dr. Dudley, but the doctor isn't much help. The family finds a most unusual way to cure Eddie. Herman tells Eddie that it doesn't matter what you look like, it's what kind of person you are that matters.
