Widely regarded as Jerry Lewis’s masterpiece, Jerry portrays a nerdy awkward university professor named Julius Kelp who is bullied by his students and taunted in his attempts to win over attractive student Stella Purdy played by Stella Stevens. Based on the classic story Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde he invents a serum in the lab which transforms into a cool arrogant hipster named Buddy Love who has a lot more success but runs into trouble when the formula starts to wear off.
