A foul-mouthed, gold-digging middle school teacher is dumped by her wealthy fiancé and forced to return to her job. She sets her sights on a rich, handsome substitute teacher and plots to win him over. To afford expensive breast implants she believes will attract him, she schemes to win the bonus given to the teacher whose class scores highest on a standardized test.
