Jon is a young Boston stock broker who inadvertently becomes a key witness in a federal money-laundering case.

Shaving off his beard and dying his hair, he`s Duckie again, recognized only by his young cousin, Keith.

In his new role as a high school raconteur, Jon excells as a radical righteous dude, bringing unwanted attention from the good, the bad and even the ugly. After dispensing life lessons to his fatherless young protege and learning a few himself, our hero defeats his enemies during a rally in the school gym, afterward redeeming himself socially in school and legally in court.
