Papa Jake is in a maximum-security detention for misbehaving in Miss McGillicuddy's history class. He meets Willie, a fellow detainee who claims to have been there for almost 60 years. Papa Jake is determined to escape and enlists Willie's help. They discover a possible passageway behind a shelf and use a makeshift hammer to break through the wall. To avoid security cameras, Papa Jake uses silly string to block the view. They then need to figure out how to climb down the shaft without getting hurt. Papa Jake uses wires to create a makeshift harness and, after retrieving a knife from the toilet, they make their way down to the storage locker where the keys are kept.
