Buzby Higgins (John Young) and Leroy Dunhagen (John Webb), two ordinary high school boys, decided to try their luck at running Brookfield High School. They thought Mr. Dunhagen (David Harris) was not doing a good enough job as principal, so they agreed to taking over, thinking it was going to be a cinch. Their minds were changed when Rosemary (Kristi Porterfield) and Phyllis Dunhagen (Kerri Wesche) created many problems which they relentlessly could nol avoid.

The two sneaked out of the house, sending the rest of the family into panic. Granddad finally returned and restored the situation to normal. David's performance was especially notable to the audience. As soon as he walked onto the stage, the crowd burst into laughter. After the play he said, All that laughter really surprised me. I thought my fly was open. During the play someone sprayed David's cake with hair spray. He tried not to swallow it. but he had to say one more line before he left the stage. Those who watched carefully after the play noticed that he hit the perpetrator with a piece of cake during the class cheer. The practices, performances and jokes combined to make the play memorable for the cast.
