Hattipha College for Boys, with Mr. Dryer as Headmaster, is proud of their school motto: Manus Rulus Foreveramus – Man must rule forever more! The College is in the forefront to win the coveted Channing Cup, emblem of schoolboy football supremacy, which means everything to Mr. Dryer and his deputy, Mr. Washington.

All seems to be going well, until the announcement from the Ministry that Hattipha College for Boys is to be merged with the Sunshine Academy for Girls. Mr. Dryer is horrified at the merging of his school with Sunshine, but the schoolers (pupils of both schools) have no problem with this arrangement. They have been “merging” long before this. In fact two girls, Nia and Abigail, have been secretly practising football with Hattipha’s star players Richie and Ronaldo. Sunshine’s school principal, Miss Chastings, is just doing her best to overcome her economic hardships, symbolised by her beloved car, Arabella, which stops more than it starts.

Papacita is Hattipha College’s handyman, who has got his hands on sweets that are said to be performance enhancers, and proceeds to sell them to the footballers. Papacita tries to control everything, including Miss Dorcas, who is a vendor at the school gate. He has invited her to join him in business, although he has kept the “Boosup Joosup” a closely kept secret. As old timers say – “what is in the dark must come to light” and Miss Dorcas begins to have her suspicions when she notices some of the youngsters behaving erratically.

Just before the final play off for the Channing Cup, the Hattipha star forwards, Ronaldo and Richie have disappeared while trying to track down the source of the “Boosup Joosup”. Miss Dorcas, Miss Chastings and Mr. Dryer spring into action to rescue their young charges and hopefully get to the Channing Cup Final before the kick off whistle blows. In true Pantomime tradition, all’s well that ends well – even as hard lessons are learned.
