A lighthearted 1980s comedy about a reluctant teacher who bonds with misfits through unconventional methods, built on warmth, humor, and the redemptive power of connection.

A high-school gym teacher has big plans for the summer, but is forced to cancel them to teach a "bonehead" English class for misfit goof-off students. Fortunately, his unconventional brand of teaching fun field trips begins to connect with them, and even inspires ardor in some.
