Joey tells his grandfather, father, mother, and sister that the school is preparing to hold a super funny joke competition. Two contestants will be selected on Wednesday and Thursday to participate in the school finals. The winner of the finals will receive the first prize—a mountain bike. Grandfather, father, and mother all support him to participate in the competition, only his sister criticizes him because Joey never manages to tell jokes correctly or completely, no matter how hard he tries.
The strong competitor is very arrogant Scott. Scott is superior in every aspect and is always favored by his homeroom teacher, Miss Lake. Joey is determined to defeat Scott in this competition and win the final victory. Can Joey become the champion?
