Thalia has dumped Dobie for wealthy Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. It isn't because Chatsworth is rich, but because he can dominate her, which is what she wants in a man, and something she believes romantic, soft-hearted Dobie can never do. So when Dobie meets Professor Dobkin, Dobie believes he's found a way to win back Thalia. Professor Dobkin espouses the power one can obtain through harnessing the Earth's electromagnetic energy, that power which includes domination over anyone and anything. So for $2.99, Dobie buys the professor's book to use as his bible. What Dobie is unaware of is that the professor is a shyster and his theories a bunch of hokum. So when a series of events occur that Dobie believes was his doing through his new found power, including getting a date with Thalia, Dobie helps the professor spread the word, all at the professor's benefit of $3.99 a book. When Dobie learns the truth behind the professor, he also learns a little bit about the power within himself.
