Zack Morris and his friends at Bayside High School find themselves caught up in the world of investments and finance in the season 1 episode 3 of Saved by the Bell titled "Wall Street."

The episode opens with Mr. Belding, the school principal, announcing that the school is participating in a stock market game with the top prize being a trip to Washington, D.C. Zack immediately becomes interested in the game and recruits his friends to join his team. The group decides to invest all of their money into one stock, much to the dismay of their teacher Mr. Tuttle who counsels them to diversify their portfolio.

As their chosen stock plummets in value, the group starts to panic and considers pulling out. However, Zack becomes determined to turn their losses around and comes up with a plan to manipulate the stock price by spreading false rumors about the company.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group struggles to keep up with the financial lingo and concepts. Slater is particularly skeptical of the game, convinced that "Wall Street is just a bunch of rich guys getting richer." Lisa becomes interested in learning more about investing and seeks out a mentor in the form of her father who works in finance.

As the group's plan begins to work, they start to make significant gains and position themselves to win the top prize. However, they soon realize the ethical implications of their actions and struggle with the decision to proceed with their plan.

In the end, the group not only learns about investing and the stock market but also about the value of ethical decision-making. The episode ends with Mr. Belding congratulating the group for their hard work and integrity, regardless of the outcome of the game.

Overall, "Wall Street" offers a fun and engaging introduction to the world of finance and investing while also emphasizing the importance of ethics and responsibility. The episode also highlights the diverse interests and skills of the characters, with each member of the group bringing their unique perspectives to the table.
