The episode opens with Drake waking up late for school and rushing out the door, leaving Josh to deal with their younger sister Megan and her antics. Upon arriving at school, they learn that they have been assigned to a notoriously strict teacher, Mrs. Hayfer, who is known for her harsh treatment of students.

Drake, being the rebellious teenager that he is, decides to test Mrs. Hayfer's limits by refusing to participate in class and talking back to her.

Drake and Josh are then forced to endure even more of Mrs. Hayfer's wrath as they are given detention and have to spend their Saturday cleaning the school. However, things take a surprising turn when they discover that Megan had taken Mrs. Hayfer's pencil as part of a prank. They return the pencil to Mrs. Hayfer and everything seems to be resolved.

In the end, Mrs. Hayfer shows a surprising level of kindness to Drake and Josh, recognizing their efforts to make amends and even inviting them over for dinner.
