The very much appreciated young woman who was the previous teacher in Lakeview elementary school got married, and a substitute is appointed. School rascal William "Curley" Benson gathers his classmates to make plans to get rid of their new teacher. They strongly suspect the substitute teacher to be the half-mad eccentric, middle-aged Miss Johnson.
