Taking a psychologist's advice the wrong way, Herbert forces Dobie to "confess" that he hates his father. Besides his strange Dad, Dobie also has to deal with greedy Thalia demanding top class treatment if he wants to take her to the big dance.

It's homespun Dobie Gillis against the wealthy and powerful Milton Armitage for class president. When Milton's mother makes Herbert an offer he can't refuse, will he sell out his son's chances to win?
