Former Grammar School, The Bailey Academy, is 300 students short and faces closure, so a plan is hatched to 'import' pupils from the former Soviet Republic of Arkozia. However, trouble is afoot for the school's sponsor and minor mobster Eric Bailey - who has his eyes on the school's playing fields for development - and uberambitious head Lucy "Lucille Ball. The Arkozian's planned arrival falls on the same day as the final hoorah of 30-year veteran and professional drunk, Ken Fenn. Bailey and Ball have seven days to seal the deal, Fenn is determined to go out with a bang and the students - who Fenn alludes to as "the scum de la scum," are revolting, literally.
