Jason realizes his paper is missing and tries to explain what happened when he met Marty Wolf, but neither his parents, or his literature teacher, Ms. Caldwell, believe him, and he is sent to summer school. Later, after a disgusting first day at summer school, Jason and his best friend, Kaylee, go to see a film, and upon watching the previews, they realize that Wolf has plagiarized Jasons composition homework and is turning it into a film.
