With the help of friendly school custodian Mr. Swenson (Christian Rub), the kids stage a play for the local PTA, explaining why Miss Pipps should not be dismissed and simultaneously exposing Mr. Pratt as the nasty curmudgeon that he is. As a result, Miss Pipps is reinstated and Pratt is duly punished -- only to be forgiven by the surprisingly charitable children.
