The episode kicks off with Zack Morris, the protagonist, playing a prank on his best friend and resident nerd, Screech Powers, by pretending to be an alien from outer space. Screech falls for it hook, line, and sinker and is convinced that he has made contact with intelligent life from another planet. Zack revels in his victory but is quickly upstaged by A.C Slater, another friend of his, who manages to prank the entire school by convincing them that a celebrity has come to visit.
Meanwhile, Lisa Turtle, Bayside's resident fashionista, is struggling with her latest design project. She is tasked with creating costumes for the school's annual fashion show and is having a hard time finding inspiration. Thanks to her friends and some unexpected events, however, she finds herself creating a standout collection that leaves everyone in awe.
As the day wears on, the pranks get more outrageous and more complex. But it's not all fun and games, as the gang soon learns that practical jokes can have unintended consequences.
