[edit] Plot summary

Carl Banks (Jim Varney) is a dangerous counterfieter and escapes from jail. Meanwhile Timmy Taylor (Joey Zimmerman) has a current project due on Monday and if he shows up empty handed he's going to summer school, simply because of his participation in class, and that his teacher hates him. Carl Banks tries to print some more money and finds one of the counterfeit plates but can't print any money when his crooked ex-boss and his cops that are counterfieters as well catch him at the house. He runs until he runs into Timmy Taylor's backyard and ends up in his treehouse. Timmy and his 2 best friends keep him hostage in Timmy's treehouse so that Timmy can take him to school on Monday to ace Current Events. However, keeping a major criminal hostage is more of a handfull than they expected, due to the huge wedgies that Carl delivers. Until Timmy figures out that Carl is in the middle of a major counterfiet ring, Timmy & his friends help get revenge on the men who treated Carl badly (surprisingly, Timmy's teacher is Carl's ex-boss who turned him into the authorities), in exchange for counterfiet money, of course.
