Obese, long-time school secretary Alene finally gets her first truck and her first boy friend--a hitch-hiker who she gives a ride that ends up in her bedroom, in the house she shares with her saintly, finiky mother. Then the school principal replaces Alene with a pretty, young woman and sends Alene to the cloakroom to set up her office. It is then that she learns she's been a strongarm instead of a secretary, hired to keep students and faculty in line, and the new boy friend is about to hit the highway again.
