Well, it's nearing the end of the school year, and the finals are on. Henry is fretting about acing all the tests and passing, and his problems are made worse when, while swerving to avoid Travis' car, he knocks a rear view mirror off the car of principal Dr. Leslie Gordon (Michael Chiklis), resulting in him getting a huge fine, and detention. Travis has Henry smoke up a joint to help him relax... which results in Henry getting a black eye from walking into another student.

If that weren't enough, Dr. Gordon has decided to crack down on all the stoners in his school by instituting a drug screening. Anyone who tests positive for drugs gets immediate expulsion, which does [=NOT=] bode well for a still-high Henry. Luckily for him, Travis has the perfect plan... get everyone in the school high so everyone fails the exam, which will get all the results thrown out. Stealing from local drug dealer from Psycho Ed (Creator/AdirienBrody), the two bake it into a batch of brownies that they swap for the ones at the school bake sale. Soon enough, everyone in the school eats the brownies, and get baked like potatoes. Of course, it wouldn't be a comedy movie if there weren't a whole lot of antics and shenanigans to keep Henry and Travis on their toes.
