The Story

The Scruffs decide they don't want to be around the Toffs today, so they bunk off. Teacher starts trying to hunt thm down and the caretaker says he saw them come in. The Toffs (who overheard the Scruff's were bunking off) decide to track them down. The Toffs know all their hiding places and easily get the Scruffs back to class.

Later, the nurse is complaining that there's a supply of junk snacks coming into the school and she doesn't know where from. The Scruffs decide to help the nurse track down the culprits and soon the Toffs are uncovered eating crisps and sweets.

Back in class both sides are arguing about the other giving away their hiding places. Teacher pops out for a minute and suddenly a fight breaks out. They're in a right state by the time teacher breaks them up and then he sees the inspector coming in through the gates.

Scared he'll get the blame for the kids looking a mess he decides that something must be done. The whole school knows their hiding places, so they can't hide. But Teacher knows of one last place. The head and the inspector get to the classroom and it is empty. Teacher and the class are hiding up in the bell tower!
