Storyline
Ferris is a street-wise kid who knows all the tricks. Today he decides to take the day off school. When Ferris takes the day off, so must his best friends, Cameron and Sloane. Cameron is reluctantly persuaded to borrow his father's Ferrari, and together they hatch a plan to get Sloane out of class. Suspicious dean of students Ed Rooney knows all about Ferris, but can never catch him. Ferris' sister Jeanie is also frustrated that Ferris always gets away with his tricks and she doesn't. Furthermore, Ferris is an 'angel' in his parents eyes. It's Ferris' day off, he's out to enjoy himself, and he does!. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
The dance sequence by the group on the stairs during Ferris's lip-synch performance of Twist and Shout is taken directly out of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. See more »Goofs
Continuity: While Ferris is singing Danke Schoen, Cameron and Sloan run up to the float and begin yelling at Ferris. We see a uniformed Chicago police officer in a dark leather jacket walk up to Cameron and Sloan to usher them away from the float. In the next scene (both up close and from a distance) we see a completely different police officer without a jacket on escorting Cameron and Sloan back to the crowd of people. See more »Quotes
