Meet Merton #18

Merton gets a wild idea to sneak a tape recorder into the girls' locker room to eavesdrop on his classmates—but when his bumbling scheme goes sideways and he's forced to disguise himself to escape, the recorder accidentally picks up something far more damaging than he bargained for. What starts as a prank turns into a humbling lesson when Merton discovers exactly what the girls really think of him, and a last-minute mix-up makes sure the truth comes back to haunt him.

When Merton fails to notice his girlfriend Marcia's stylish new Italian hair-do, her frustration reaches his father's boss—who promptly pressures Merton's dad to get the boy to cheer her up. Roped into taking Marcia to an Italian-themed amusement park, Merton thinks he's found the perfect gesture to win back her affections, but his well-intentioned choice backfires in the most aromatic way possible.

Merton and his friend Calories dream up a scheme to sell a mysterious pill to a major automotive company—one that supposedly lets cars run on plain water instead of gasoline. When they demonstrate their invention to an impressed executive, things go hilariously sideways, and the boys discover their miracle formula might not work quite the way they thought. A fun romp through teen ingenuity gone wonderfully wrong, "What a Pill!" shows what happens when enthusiasm outpaces actual know-how.
