He enrolled in college for the pursuit of finer things...like co-eds, shapely professors, fun and rock and roll.
To encourage his uninspired son to get through college, a wealthy and fun loving, but somewhat obnoxious, businessman decides to enter the school as a student himself.
Millionaire businessman Thornton Melon is upset when his son Jason announces that he is not sure about going to college. Thornton insists that college is the best thing he never had for himself, and to prove his point, he agrees to enroll in school along with his son. Thornton is a big hit on campus: always throwing the biggest parties, knowing all the right people, but is this the way to pass college?
