Uh-oh, I am going to hell for cheating! (being sarcastic here ^_^)

This short I seen on MST3K alongside Latin American cult film, "Wild World of Batwoman". It is about a poor dumb sap named Johnny, whom cheats with his "Girlfriend" Merry and at first is sucessful, but the second time around though, it is total misery. Kicked out of student council, being hated by everybody in the school and breaking up with Merry. Now where the hell are Johnny's parents? Is he orphan or something?

Geez, I was caught cheating in grade school once, but the punishment was NOT *that* severe.
