Robinson Peepers arrives at Jefferson Junior High School to find that he will have to wait a month before construction is finished on the new addition in which he was to teach. He is assigned to work with the current science teacher, Mr. Wadd, but Wadd resents the new addition to the faculty, and forces Peepers to sit on the sidelines. At lunch, Peepers' cafeteria tray inadvertently snags Wadd's toupee, revealing his baldness. When Wadd leaves in shame, Mr. Peepers is assigned to take his place.
