A cheating husband is confronted and accidentally killed by his son-in-law business partner, who himself has been caught embezzling from their firm. If he can hide the body the embezzler can throw all the blame for the missing funds on the absent partner and cover both of his crimes. The jealous wife goes to catch hubby in the act, but can only seize his prized Porsche in revenge, not knowing the body is in the trunk.

Fast forward to nearby Colorado University, where our boy Corey, stretching out on his own without his doppleganger namesake, dreams of joining an exclusive fraternity and dating the beautiful coed who lives in the female dorm across the way from his own room. Filling in for his father on a professional piano-tuning assignment, Corey meets the unwitting widow, and is presented with the car in question as payment for his services and also partly out of revenge against the departed husband.

A frat bet earns him a date with his beloved, but he is being stalked by the accidental killer, and by his newly-jealous greek brothers, who want to haze and humiliate him. The final confrontation involves a wild car chase and results in the arrest of the killer/embezzler and the defeat of the hubristic frat boys. Corey #1 always seems to have trouble with cars-what`s up with that?

Corey keeps the car and the girl.
