Charlie is a sub-normal floor sweeper at Donner's Bakery and the gentle butt of everyone's jokes. He undergoes a brain operation which dramatically increases his intelligence. Charlie becomes a genius. But can he cope emotionally? Can he develop relationships? And how far do the psychiatrists and psychologists view Charlie - as a man or as the subject of an experiment like the mouse Algernon?
