After being humiliated in English class by his teacher Mr. Griffin (Thomas), popular high-school student Mark Kinney (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 phony that he seems to be.
