Stockbroker Andrew Morenski (Jon Cryer) thinks he's struck it rich - until he learns that the mob wants to strike him dead! With hit men on his trial, Andrew decides to hide out in a high school, where, with a new punk hairstyle, he becomes student "Max Mauser" (also Jon Cryer). In the classroom, Max takes his most obnoxious teachers to task, and quickly becomes the big man on campus. Without even trying, Max lands a beautiful girlfriend and is elected class president. But when the hit men discover Max is actually Andrew, the laughs really start to fly!
