Synopsis:
Slam pays a visit to his former elementary school teacher. She recruits Slam and Shorty to investigate a series of break-ins to student lockers. Shorty goes undercover as a student and learns that three bank robbers have hidden a satchel of stolen money in one of the lockers. Unable to find the money on their own, the crooks force the principal to make the students find the money bag. The student who finds it, gives the satchel to Slam. The crooks then chase Shorty and Slam around the school, until they are finally apprehended.
