| Overview: | Liverpool Memorial Secondary School is in major financial trouble, so the board chairman (played by executive producer Henry Fong Ping) declares that one class must be dropped in order to cut costs. Class E, the dumping ground for all of the institution's most belligerent and uncooperative students, is chosen and the principal (Elvis Tsui Kam-kong) could not be happier. All he has to do is get the kids through the remainder of the term and they are out of his hair forever (so to speak). That is actually a tall order, given the fact that 16 substitute teachers have tried and failed to bring them under control.
Mousy teacher May Lo (Yoyo Mung Kar-wai) is ordered to find a replacement and, out of desperation, turns to old classmate Cheung Ying (Nick Cheung Kar-fai). Now a decidedly small-time triad, Ying is hardly the man for the job and only lasts five minutes before the students drive him away. However, May inspires him to come back the next day and Ying's new lesson plan (like taking the class on an evening field trip to Mongkok for a look at "The Dark Side of Society") starts to win the kids over. Together, Ying and May help to get their charges out of various jams and the goo wak jai begins to develop feelings for his old schoolmate (who is gradually opening up and shedding her ugly duckling demeanour). But what can be done to save Class E from extinction?
