Jerry Mitchell's having one of the those days: he's late for high school, his car has a flat and he's been sent to the dean's office. But worst of all, he's just ticked off muscle-bound bully Buddy Revell, who challenges him to a fight at 3 p.m. Jerry has just seven hours, his lightening-quick wit and a savvy kid sister to find a way out of this mess. As the clock ticks away and the suspense mounts, Jerry's going to be history--unless he can make brain work against brawn in this teen comedy classic.
