Summary
Apathy has taken over at Samuel Clemens High School. Principal Janice Turner wants to wake it up. She talks with Betty Foster, editor of the school paper. Somebody suggests an all night charity dance marathon. It's a great plan, but the School Board has a policy that school facilities can't be used for outside affairs and parents object. Somehow, they enlist the help of Leslie Miller, radio personality. Somehow, they manage to get kids and a dozen rock bands into the field house. And somehow, determined kids stay on their feet for fourteen hours and dance their hearts out.
