- A high school football star tries to romance the new girl at the school who happens to be his coach's daughter.
- At Sherwood High School, Corey Peterson and his friends are typical and sex-hungry football players whom chase after their cheerleader girls in between classes and football practice. When Corey meets and falls for Melanie Jackson, the new transfer student, he soon learns that Melanie is the daughter of the new football coach, whom disapproves of any guy dating his daughter. Coach Jackson then subjects Corey to severe coaching which borders on physical abuse in his attempts to keep Corey away from his daughter. However, Coach Jackson privately tells Corey that if he leads the team to victory at the championship game, he will give Corey permission to date Melanie. Meanwhile, Corey and the rest of the team are engaged in a prank war with the rival Brookfield High School whom they are playing in the big game. One player, Jeff, makes a secret bet with the Brookfield players; the football team that wins gets to party with the cheerleaders of both teams.—Larry B.
- Driving to high school in his van, Corey Pearson (Tom Leindecker) picks up his friend Jeff (Greg D'Jah) and stops for gas at Sam's service station. When Sam (Jeff Laine) asks why Corey no longer uses the garage's back room for sexual trysts, the student says the van now serves that purpose. Corey and Jeff pick up Jeff's girlfriend, Terry (Patrice Michelle), and drive to Sherwood High School. They park next to an orange van marked FFFF that has eight decals of a cat's head on the driver's side door. A young woman gets out of the rear of the orange van and hurries away; a moment later a young man emerges and puts another decal on the front door.
Later that day at school, transfer student Melanie Jackson (Rhonda Foxx) arrives at her chemistry class, and Mr. Stephano (Wayne Crawford; credited as Scott Lawrence), the teacher, assigns her to one of the laboratory tables where Jeff, Terry and Corey are also working. However, offended by Corey's forward remarks, Melanie goes to another table instead. Fellow student Jill Talbot (Karyn Wagner) gets permission to go to the bathroom, and her boyfriend, Tim (Jerome Summers), sneaks out of class a few minutes later and joins her in one of the toilet stalls to have sex. Mr. Stephano asks Myron (Scott Avery), the class brain/nerd, to help Melanie, but Myron is intimidated by the beautiful blonde and walks away. Another student, Helen (Kim Jach), flirts with Mr. Stephano, who gently discourages her. In the girls room, Jill and Tim are interrupted by another teacher who comes to use the restroom, forcing Jill to leave Tim behind in a hurry to get back to class.
That afternoon at football practice, Corey, Jeff and the other Sherwood football players run scrimmages and get a pep talk from their new coach, and Melanie's father, Mr. Jackson (Booth Lusteg). Nearby, Terry, Melanie, and several other candidates for the cheer-leading squad stretch and practice routines. Afterward, the young men and women go to their separate locker rooms to shower. The men tell sex jokes and brag, while the girls talk about which boys they like. Terry convinces Melanie that Corey is not a bad guy and offers her a ride home in Corey's van. Corey tells Jeff to drive so that he can sit in back with Melanie, but she resists his advances.
That night, at Fonzies, a 1950s-style Drive-In restaurant, Corey asks Terry if Melanie is coming. At the next table, several FFFF students draw names to see who will use the orange van that night. Using sex as an objective in their competition, they complain that Buzz (Jimmy Bays) did not make love with enough girls when he had use of the van the previous week.
At school the next day, Melanie apologizes to Corey for being abrupt with him, and to make up for it, she agrees to ride in his dune buggy. They stop in the woods and kiss for the first time. That night, Corey, Jeff and Terry drive to Melanie's house to pick her up for a double date. When Corey goes inside to meet her parents, Melanie's intoxicated mother flirts with him, says she used to be a cheerleader, and knocks over a lamp while demonstrating a school cheer. As Mr. Jackson walks in the room, Corey is shocked to see that he is Coach Jackson. The coach pulls Corey aside to threaten him with bodily harm if he lays a hand on Melanie.
On the double date, Corey, Melanie, Jeff and Terry go to a skateboard park. Meanwhile, three students from rival Brookfield High break into the Sherwood High locker room to plant stink bombs, which erupt the next morning during school hours. To retaliate, Myron cooks up a chemical brew and sneaks into the Brookfield locker room the following night with some help from Corey and Jeff. Myron's potion bubbles up into a sudsy material that engulfs the teams football equipment and hardens into plastic.
That Saturday, the cheerleaders hold a car wash at Sam's garage to raise money for new uniforms. They dress in two-piece bathing suits and squirt each other with water. The following week, substitute teacher Ms. McKenzie (Polly Kerwin) conducts a class on communication in sex by writing several innocent words on the blackboard and explaining how their definitions change if used in a sexual context.
A few days later during class, a pickup truck stops outside and a football player from Brookfield sails a Frisbee through a window and into the classroom. Jeff picks it up and reads a folded paper taped to the bottom that challenges Jeff to meet the Brookfield player alone that night to even the score.
After school, Buzz stops Ms. McKenzie in the parking lot and asks if she would like to take a ride in his orange van. She admires the vehicle and asks to see what it looks like in back. Reminding him what she said about the meaning of words, Ms. McKenzie asks what FFFF stands for, and Buzz reluctantly tells her its vulgar message. Soon afterward, the van is rocking with their lovemaking, and when Ms. McKenzie leaves, the visibly shaken Buzz puts another cat decal on the front door, marking his conquest.
At football practice, Coach Jackson picks on Corey and physically hits him without provocation.
That night, Jeff drives to a rendezvous point to meet the Brookfield player, but when they both discover that the other has brought his entire team to back him up. However, nothing happens. They decide to fight it out during Saturday's game; furthermore, the losing team has to donate its cheerleaders for the winning team's victory party.
Meanwhile, the Sherwood crowd goes to Fonzies to hang out, then Corey drives Melanie home. He parks the van in her driveway, asks Melanie to join him in the back seat, and when she says her father is home, he tells her, "You worry too much". As they kiss, Melanie's father yanks the van's door open, orders Melanie into the house, and tells Corey to leave.
The next day, during football practice, the vindictive and brutal Coach Jackson makes Corey run the ball up and down the field over and over, so that other players can practice their tackles upon him. In the locker room, Corey is physically bruised and sore. When Jeff asks him what's wrong, Corey at first refuses to talk about it. After some pestering from Jeff, Corey finally explains the reason why the coach is angry at him which is all about Melanie. Jeff advises Corey to forget about Melanie, that going after her is not worth his life. After school, Melanie apologizes for her overprotective father's behavior, but Corey brushes her off. Seeing that Corey is available, Helen gets into his van and offers sexual favors. Corey refuses.
On the day of the big game, both Sherwood and Brookfield football teams battle it out. In the fourth quarter, with only seconds on the clock, Sherwood wins with a last-minute touchdown with Corey playing quarterback, and Coach Jackson holds a victory party at his house. One of the losing Brookfield players shows up with two Brookfield cheerleaders. He asks Buzz if he could stay for the celebration. To show that there are no hard feelings, Buzz agrees to let the Brookfield player stay and party with them. Mr. Stephano even shows up at the party, and ends up getting thrown into the backyard swimming pool. In the final shot, the eager Melanie leads Corey toward her bedroom to finally consummate their attraction to each other. When Corey expresses fear of her father, Melanie admonishes him, echoing what he told her earlier over her rebuffing his advances by saying: "You worry too much."
