Zack, Slater, Screech, and Brian find themselves at the mercy of their high school peers during Bayside High's charity date auction. The boys are auctioned off to girls in their class, with the highest bidder winning a date with the guy of their choice. Zack and Slater are excited about the prospect of going out with the highest bidders, while Screech and Brian are apprehensive about the whole ordeal.
As the auction gets underway, the boys discover that they have some fierce competition. One girl, Shana, seems determined to win Slater's heart, while another, Tina, bids aggressively for Zack. Screech and Brian don't attract too many bidders, but they're thrilled when they're each bought by their secret crushes.
However, as the dates approach, the boys begin to realize that they might have bitten off more than they can chew. Slater struggles to keep up with Shana's fast-paced lifestyle, while Zack discovers that Tina is more interested in his money than his company. Screech and Brian are too nervous to be themselves around their dates, and end up making fools of themselves.
Meanwhile, Jessie and Kelly sit in the audience and watch the chaos unfold. Jessie is outraged that the girls are treating the boys like objects, while Kelly is more concerned about her own romantic prospects. She doesn't bid on any of the guys during the auction, but when a surprise bachelor is added to the lineup, she finds herself captivated by him.
As the night wears on, the boys' dates become more and more disastrous. Slater injures himself trying to impress Shana, Zack gets into a fight with Tina's jealous ex-boyfriend, and Screech accidentally spills wine all over his crush. Brian, however, manages to score some points with his date by taking her to a scenic overlook and revealing his sensitive side.
In the end, the boys reunite with their friends and reveal the highs and lows of their dates. Despite the many mishaps, they all agree that it was a memorable experience. Jessie and Kelly reflect on the lessons they learned from the auction, and Kelly decides to take a chance on the mystery bachelor she met earlier. The episode ends with the boys walking off into the sunset, ready for whatever adventures the future holds.
