High school slackers Frenchy and Stewart surprise everyone by auditioning for the school musical, Man of La Mancha, and landing lead roles. Frenchy, who finds himself caring about something for a change, begins to worry about Stewart's inability to shake his role as Don Quixote while offstage. The characters are well developed, and the story skillfully plays with perceptions of fantasy and reality.
