It is an adaptation of Arkin's own short story, and stars his sons, [[Creator/AdamArkin Adam]] and [[Creator/MatthewArkin Matthew]]. Matthew comes into the kitchen one afternoon and finds Adam hard at work creating some sort of frightening concoction which Adam announces is an "animal serum" meant for a "scientific experiment". Adam has already thrown in flour and onions and all sorts of goop into a bowl, and when Matthew brings the last ingredient, applesauce, the potion is ready. After waiting ten minutes for the potion to sit, Adam gets Matthew to be his test subject, and gets a surprising result.
