In order to go on a ski trip, Zack and Slater trick Mr. Tuttle into thinking Mr. Belding is against him, prompting a strike. However, their plan is so successful that it could cause the annual Academic Bowl to be canceled.
Zack and Slater help along a teachers strike to avoid going to classes, but they find out that their academic championship game between the geeks from Bayside and Valley will be canceled as a result of the strike. Meanwhile, Jessie fills in for the absent Kelly at her job at the Max, while Screech comes down with a cold prior to the championship and Zack has to replace him.—Anonymous
