Synopsis

Fred's position at work is threatened because he does not have his high school diploma. On the advice of an efficiency expert, Mr. Slate sends Fred back to finish high school, where he is instantly popular with the kids.

Teaser Sequence: Fred is running on a track field as someone passes him a stick and he speeds off. High school students cheers Fred on as one of them says maybe they can get him to break the school track records. Next, Fred pole-vaults over a pole saying "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!" and lands into the ground. The students cheers "Yay, Fred!" One of the students tell Fred he broke the record. Fred speaks muffled in the ground next to him: "Hooray for me."
