Kid, with scholarship money provided by the congregation of his church, is able to go off to college with his high school sweetheart, Sidney. Play, now driving a Ford Mustang instead of his beat up old wagon, seduces Sheila Landreaux. Really a con artist, Sheila convinces Play she's a record executive and she'd like to sign him...he just has to put some money down in order to start recording. Lured by dreams of stardom, Play signs over Kid's college scholarship check. Unaware of Play's actions, Kid starts school and meets his roommate Jamal, a white kid with an obsession for all things Black. But when Kid tries to enroll in his classes, he finds out his tuition has not been paid. He is given one week by the dean to pay his tuition fee or face being kicked out of college. The dean's assistant, Miles, helps Kid with an extension and a job in the dining hall, working for Mr. Lee, a man who runs the dining hall like a military officer and insists Kid wear a hair net.
