Carl Banks (
Jim Varney ) is a dangerous counterfieter and escapes from jail. Meanwhile Timmy Taylor (Joey Zimmerman) has a current project due on Monday and if he shows up empty handed he's going to summer school, simply because of his participation in class, and that his teacher hates him. Carl Banks tries to print some more money and finds one of thecounterfeit plates but can't print any money when his crooked ex-boss and his cops that are counterfieters as well catch him at his base. He runs until he runs into Timmy Taylor's backyard and ends up in his treehouse. Timmy and his 2 best friends keep him hostage in Timmy's treehouse so that Timmy can take him to school on Monday to ace Current Events. However, keeping a major criminal hostage is more of a handfull than they expected, due to the hugewedgies that Carl delivers. Until Timmy figures out that Carl is in the middle of a major counterfiet ring, Timmy & his friends help get revenge on the men who treated Carl badly (surprisingly, Timmy's principal is Carl's ex-boss who turned him into the authorities), in exchange for counterfiet money, of course. In the end the kids and Carl lay a trap and Carl and the two goons, who are dirty cops are captured. The evil principal gets away Carl is set free as the kids tape recordered them running into the counterfiet gang and it proves Carl's innocence. Carl is offered witness protection if he cooperates and he does. At school on Monday Timmy's teacher doesn't believe his story until the police show up with Carl and arrest the principal for being the counterfiet gang's leader. Timmy also gets a reward check for his actions which his dog buries in the backyard later that night.External links
