After being humiliated in English class by his teacher Mr. Griffin (Jay Thomas), popular high school student Mark Kinney (Scott Bairstow) wants his revenge. With his friends, he plans to kidnap Mr. Griffin, using his girlfriend Susan (Amy Jo Johnson) as bait, to frighten Mr. Griffin and photograph him and expose him for the fatuous phoney that he seems to be.
