Plot

Every student cheats using various methods. Kimura Kenji (Tatsuya Yamaguchi) on the other hand aims to go and do research under the great Professor Namazuda and doesn't cheat. After some time, Kimura's high school friend, Morishita Yumi (Namie Amuro), also starts cheating. During the exam, Professor Migita, through binoculars, spots Kamei cheating. When the teacher comes to the hall, Kimura worries that Migita has seen Morishita cheating, and his concern is somewhat alleviated when Professor Migita calls out Kamei instead, who is expelled. Later, Kimura attempts to help Kamei re-enter the college, but Professor Migita blocks him.

The next day, Professor Namazuda comes to the dorm and informs them about the decision from the meeting. Morishita goes to Migita's office pretending that she wants to do research under him. He agrees and asks her to shred some papers. She sees Professor Namazuda's atomic theory papers, which were stolen by Migita, and realizes his plot to get rid of Namazuda. Morishita eavesdrops on a conversation between a construction manager and Migata, but she is seen by Migita's assistant. Later, she accidentally sees Migita seducing his assistant. Morishita rushes to Sigma dormhouse and tells Kimura and others about Migita's plan. They report it to Professor Namazuda.

In class, Migita warns the students that he will never tolerate cheating on the final. After class, Kimura and others rush to Migita about the dorm issue. Migita explains that he is simply trying to help the college. He also calls the students dumb, provoking the students. Kimura then offers a challenge: If they get good grades, Kamei will be allowed to return. He agrees under the condition that they get all A's on every subject.

Kimura then confesses his love for Morishita using a cheating method developed by Professor Namazuda, and they embrace. Migita's researchers realize that all students have cheated when they check the papers. They were going to tell Migita in his lab, but, while Migita is angrily playing a game, he accidentally knocks over a chemical, which explodes and injures Migita.
