A dad is too sick to drive his son, Jeffy, to school, but Jeffy is 16 and wants to drive himself. Despite initial reluctance, the dad agrees, but warns Jeffy not to speed or get into an accident. Jeffy gets pulled over by a police officer and receives a speeding ticket. The officer is strict and gives Jeffy multiple tickets for various infractions.
Jeffy tries to pay the tickets, but they cost $500 each. The officer threatens to arrest Jeffy if he gets another ticket. Jeffy's dad intervenes and offers to drive Jeffy to school instead. However, the police officer arrives at their home and reveals that Jeffy has accumulated 45 speeding tickets and traffic violations, totaling $10,000 in fines.
The dad and Jeffy try to come up with a plan to pay the fines, but they are unable to afford it. The police officer offers to waive the arrest if they can pay the fine by the end of the night. Desperate, the dad and Jeffy decide to rob a store to get the money. They break into the store, but their attempt is bungled, and they end up getting stuck in the freezer.
The police officer discovers them and accuses them of the robbery. The dad and Jeffy try to blame Santa Claus, but the officer is not convinced. Eventually, the dad confesses, and the officer decides not to arrest Jeffy, but instead, grounds him from driving. The episode ends with Jeffy being okay with not driving, as he prefers being chauffeured around anyway.
