The chronicles of teacher Ralph Hinkley's adventures after a group of aliens gives him a red suit that gives him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately, Ralph, who hates wearing the suit, immediately loses its instruction booklet, and thus has to learn how to use its powers by trial and error, often with comical results.

Taglines

What America needs is a super hero. What America got was Ralph Hinkley!
You'll believe a man who can fly...and change the course of mighty rivers...and bend steel in his bare hands...can also make mistakes, just like everybody else!
With great power comes great insecurity...Luckily, Ralph Hinkley's got perseverance to match.
