It's Senior Ditch Day and the girls along with David, decide to spend it at Magic Mountain. What is supposed to be a fun day turns into a nightmare when Kelly's wallet is stolen and Donna is mugged. Meanwhile, Brandon encounters problems of his own when he has to cover for Nat by working at the Peach Pit, and his car is stolen by a clever female con artist who dupes both Dylan and Steve into tagging along with her to help search for Burt Reynolds to appease a tour group.

Donna must attend a disciplinary hearing regarding her activity at prom night and is denied participation in commencement ceremonies. Her own mother refuses to stand by her, but Brandon and the others go to bat for their friend. At Gil Meyers suggestion, they planned a school wide finals walk-out and a mass demonstration in front of the school board.
