The high school gang hates the boywonder Dan. They've heard too much about his IQ. They despise his "Smart-Me, Dumb-You" attitude. Then the star athlete Puff is disqualified from all athletic events. Dan has a big problem of his own. His parents won't let him take the college entrance exams as long as he's so unpopular. So Dan offers a trade: he'll tutor Puff if the gang will rally around him and act like friends even if they're not. He's a "perfect" idiot!
