Synopsis

To win his freedom from school bully Bugs, smart aleck Tommy offers to help him get a date to the prom with popular actress Stephanie Mezaluna.

But the only way to get her attention is to convince her that Bugs is a famous actor in hiding, and as one cover-up leads to another, it’s not long before a jock, Steve, is parading as Bugs’s slick New York agent, and Tommy is stuck trying to get Steve’s sister a date to the prom.

Of course, prom tickets are only on sale until fifth period – so Tommy has to act fast and try to control the chaos in this wild high school hallway farce.
