Supposedly hard at work on a lab project, the trio, led by party-scheming Chris (Val Kilmer), finds time to turn the dorm into an ice skating rink, dismantle a nerd's car then reassemble it in his dorm room, and throw a beach bash in the auditorium complete with a lagoon and bikini-clad beauties.

Their plan culminates in an incredible scheme that outsmarts the military and convinces the Professor that it doesn't pay to fool with real geniuses! (Cinemax)
