After being nearly trampled by one of Laurence's classes reenacting the French Revolution, the parents of a prospective student bring it to the Headmaster's attention that The Mansion's unruly student body has earned a bad reputation around town. Laurence hasn't set a particularly good example by mowing down an elderly lady with the school minibus on a class outing. When the victim threatens to go to the press, the Headmaster cracks down on the students with a rigorous program of regulations in hopes of salvaging the school's tarnished image. The teachers, finding themselves with empty classrooms and full detention halls, may stage a revolution of their own.
