Plots(1)
Thornton Melon's (Dangerfield) son is a college misfit, so Thornton's lending some fatherly support...by enrolling as a fellow freshman! Who cares if the owner of the "Tall and Fat" clothing empire never finished high school? Thornton's pockets are deep enough to buy a ticket to class...and hire NASA to do his homework! But when he ticks off his professor and then steals his girlfriend Thornton takes things just a little too far. Now, he'll have to hit the books instead of his bank account or go back to being the world's wealthiest dropout! (official distributor synopsis)
