While other kids buy into countless hours of studying just to get good marks in some teacher’s report book, Handsome Davis sees it as nothing more than a system of control over your mind. That’s why Handsome, Sammy, Victor and Applebee have found ways to cheat on their tests all through their school years. Everything has been going smoothly until the gang enters their final year of high school and the school’s principal Mrs. Stark (Mary Tyler Moore) decides to put an end to the cheating. If they get caught cheating again, Stark will make a note in their permanent records and hurt their chances of getting into college. Handsome convinces his pals to pull off one last, great cheat with him, even if it means the possible end of their friendship.
