To help his discouraged son get through college, a funloving and obnoxious rich businessman decides to enter the school as a student himself.

Millionaire businessman Thornton Melon is upset when his son Jason announces that he is not sure about going to college.

Thornton is a big hit on campus: always throwing the biggest parties, knowing all the right people, but is this the way to pass college?
