Classes 3C and 3D have been feuding for years. To put an end to an untenable situation, the "historical leaders" of the two classes, repeaters since time immemorial, organize a boxing match. Class 3C is represented by Massimo (Renato Cestie'), a handsome and bold athlete; class 3D, however, pits him against a giant, a newcomer nicknamed Terminator. Thus, a typical "Rocky situation" unfolds, with Massimo undergoing intensive training to overcome a feat deemed impossible by all. Like a Stallone, against all odds, Massimo, despite being severely pounded by his massive opponent, manages to win.

Disliked by Sharon's parents for being a frequent repeater and too easygoing, Chicco plans to win her heart and her parents' sympathy by participating in the quiz show "Superstrike," a subject he knows nothing about, "LA ROMA," a subject of which Sharon is a loyal viewer. Not only does Chicco win increasingly fabulous sums with each episode, but he also presents himself with a completely unexpected TV persona (passing himself off as a very conscientious, studious, and diligent boy), so much so that Sharon's parents open their doors to him. In a final, fabulous "double-down," Chicco refuses to answer a question about a historic defeat for his favorite team. He loses everything, but perhaps with a better chance in his everyday life.

Election battle among the students of Class 3C. In this third episode, the young protagonists are all leading their own lists, a "pluralism" born of delusions of grandeur and the usual rivalries. With just a few days to go until the election, none of the lists has yet managed to obtain enough signatures to run for office. They therefore fall back on an alliance that appoints as their representative the only one left out of the fray, the usual Bruno. After an unexpected success, Bruno is elected, but once on the school board, he fails to assert himself due to excessive shyness.

A beautiful sunny day just as a catastrophic class test is due: the temptation is too great, so Chicco and Bruno skip school and go to the beach, thinking about "those poor souls" locked in the classroom. At the beach, however, the two "deserters" discover that their classmates have all had the same idea. Benedetta is drawn to an "exceptional" cultural event, a poets' festival. Daniele and Rossella have planned a romantic picnic for two. Massimo has invited the beautiful Sharon on a motorcycle ride. Even a couple of parents, Sharon's father and Massimo's mother, are in the area, with extramarital plans: and now they're only worrying about hiding. Even the "obligatory" fun of the kids on extra vacation turns into hellish stress.

Cohabitation is difficult when an entire class ends up living in an apartment. This is what happens in this episode of "The 3C Boys," in which Chicco, having to put up for a few days an American friend who announced her arrival via telegram, finds an elegant place with a steep rent. The price forces him to involve first Massimo and then his classmates in the idea. When the American girl moves into her new "nest," numerous subtenants arrive, determined to take immediate possession of the apartment. Amid furious arguments and progressive destruction, the failed attempt at "cohabitation" unfolds. With the kids leaving, one by one, only the American friend remains, who quickly gathers together a group of her American peers, with whom she can enjoy a wonderful vacation without paying a single dollar of rent.

At the initiative of Dean Chicco, the 3Cs revive an ancient school tradition: the class newspaper. Once the duties are distributed—Chicco edits the sports page, Daniele and Rossella the favorites, and Benedetta (Nicoletta Elmi) the horoscope and movie reviews—the search for a sponsor begins. Sharon's father, seeing the newspaper as a way to advertise his cured meat company, steps in. To boost sales, Chicco has the dubious idea of putting a nude on the cover, using a photomontage of Sharon's face and the body of a black Playmate. Against all odds, not a single copy of the "3Cs Newspaper" sells. But Sharon's father, furious with the photo of his daughter on the cover, buys up the entire print run to save the rookie journalists from debt.

To postpone the deadline for some very tough exams, the students of Class 3C invent a visit from an Oxford professor—actually a former student, a chronic repeater like Chicco—persuading the principal to fund a performance of Shakespeare's most famous works. Chicco plays Iago, Massimo plays Cassio, Sharon is Ophelia, and Benedetta is, of course, the occasional director. In Class 3C's unique "interpretation," however, the English playwright's works become ignoble farces, with only Bruno escaping, forced to play Othello, who on the day of the "premiere" (and final) performance achieves an unexpected personal success. But once the curtain falls, the story of the fake English professor comes to light. Tragic "reruns" are prepared for everyone.

Big plans for the upcoming Christmas: naturally, the kids all agree on the idea of an "alternative" holiday, without parents in the way or other ritualistic conventions (tree, nativity scene, bingo, Christmas dinner, etc.). Chicco and Massimo would like to go on a ski holiday, Benedetta dreams of an exhausting movie marathon, Daniele and Rossella are thinking of romantic moments. They all end up meeting on Christmas Eve at the bar in front of the school with so many wonderful plans ruined. All that's left is to go to "poor Bruno," who's trapped in a Christmas dinner with his relatives. The Christmas rebels will thus be drawn into the more traditional celebrations of the holiday (including the bagpipers) and, what's worse, much to their delight.

Love, (long-awaited) death, and resurrection among the desks of class 3C. Bruno is struck by Cupid's arrow, thanks to a plot by his classmates who make him believe he's won over Luana, a fellow commuter. To pursue this unrequited love, Bruno neglects his studies and manipulates his disastrous report card. Seduced and abandoned, and further pursued by his furious father, Bruno indulges in a series of clumsy attempts to "end it all"—but not before delivering a farewell letter to Luana, which, through a tragic misunderstanding, ends up among the Italian essays. The unusual "essay" is read by the teacher, who praises the student's epistolary style in addressing an "imaginary" Luana. His classmates carry him in triumph, while Luana, who has broken up with her boyfriend, thanks him with a kiss.

Double the party, and double the setbacks, for the kids in Class 3C on Sharon's birthday. Invited by her partner to her parents' luxurious villa, they have to find a new home because their father is under the tax authorities' scrutiny when they arrive. The large group of guests, along with the buffet and the Zampettis' waiter, "move" en masse to Bruno's house, a more cramped space where dancing becomes a feat for contortionists. What's more, when it's time to dance, Bruno's parents and the tenants, who insist on holding a condominium meeting, enter the fray. Sharon thus experiences the most stressful birthday party of her life.

A terrible suspicion is turning Rossella's life upside down. She fears she's pregnant. A proper test confirms her fear. Desperate, Rossella confides in her parents and her boyfriend, Daniele. They all show her affection and understanding and help her through this difficult time. Daniele shows her his undying love and tells her he's willing to marry her, but Rossella feels lonely, upset, increasingly withdrawn, and avoids Daniele's company.

The students of Class 3C, fresh from their school days, are elated by the announcement of a traditional school trip to the snow-capped peaks. They set off excitedly, dreaming of a week of freedom, enjoying winter sports and flirting with vacationers. But the beautiful Sharon has left with her waiter Aziz, whose job it is to keep a close eye on her, and the kids aren't exactly skiers. The only one to truly experience an unforgettable vacation is the Italian teacher, who, despite constant disturbances from his students, finds love in that snowy landscape.

The students of Class 3C have always been drawn to ambitious artistic endeavors. After their school play, this year they even decided to make a film. It's a horror film titled "Quella scuola accanto al cimitero," directed by Benedetta and starring poor Bruno, reluctantly, in the demanding role of a paranormal being. Some bitter disagreements with producer Zampetti, however, will transform the film into a long and terrifying commercial for cured meats and cotechino.

This year, as tradition dictates, the legendary football match between the 3rd C and 3rd F teams is being celebrated. It's a real derby, one that promises to be fierce and fierce, given the long-standing rivalry between the two classes. Our players are preparing diligently for the big match. Their coach is Ciro, Bruno's stationer, who certainly isn't the most reliable; their sponsor is, needless to say, the Zampetti salami company; and even a foreigner, Aziz, the sponsor's Somali waiter. The 3rd C team enters the derby as a clear underdog. But, as they say, the ball is in the air.

A mystery unfolds in class 3C. Many students' snacks mysteriously disappear from the classroom. Food thefts become increasingly frequent, and among the students, excitement gives way to nervousness and furious protests. Chicco decides to take matters into his own hands and, assisted by Bruno, launches into a thorough police investigation to track down the culprit. Naturally, Chicco and Bruno seem unlikely to be playing Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Carnival is in full swing. For the occasion, the principal has organized a party in the school gym, attended by teachers and parents. It's clear that the students in Class 3C have other plans for their Carnival. On the evening of Fat Thursday, each of them, unbeknownst to their classmates, goes in costume to a large Brazilian party, hosted by Aziz and Puccio at Villa Zampetti. When the host unexpectedly returns, the disappointed students, victims of numerous misunderstandings, will be forced to quickly transfer the festive atmosphere of the Rio Carnival to the Sacchi household.

Are Chicco, Massimo, Bruno, and Daniele real men? They're sure of it, and to counter the derision of their schoolmates, they decide to prove it by enrolling in a grueling survival course. The outcome is obviously disastrous. The boys quickly realize they're not cut out for a wild, adventurous life. Furthermore, rather than a survival school, the four discover they've enrolled in a real concentration camp, run by the fearsome German jailer Bruno Kaiser. They learn, therefore, only one way to survive: escape.

Our classmates become the protagonists of a thrilling news story. Two escapees, wanted throughout the city, find refuge in 3C and take the students hostage. Outside the high school, the police are mobilized, the parents are distraught, and Puccio's local TV station follows the drama live with bated breath. Only the students, overjoyed, enjoy the suspenseful day as a tempting diversion from school. The two convicts, in fact, prove completely harmless and are the only ones to experience truly terrifying hours, victims of the unbridled students of 3C.

There's war between the 3rd C and the 3rd F! Luckily, it's just a "soft" war with toy guns and tracer bullets, which leave only a red stain on the victims' uniforms. Nevertheless, General Chicco's soldiers take their little war very seriously. Boys and girls, mindful of so many war movies, transform themselves for the space of a weekend into tough guys, sharp strategists, and heroic kamikazes...plus one shirker: Bruno Sacchi.

Sometimes it's worth debunking the old cliché that perpetuates antagonism between students and teachers. That's what the students in Class 3C think when their distraught Italian teacher confesses he's in serious trouble due to an eviction order. To help him financially solve his problems, the students mutually make the fateful decision: "Let's go to work." They improvise, taking on the most diverse odd jobs: clerk, delivery driver, fortune teller.

Bruno Sacchi absolutely needs a car. It will save him from being constantly late for school and spending endless hours on the train. Unfortunately, Chicco and Puccio are his driving instructors. When he finally gets into his first car, a battered old dud given to him by the same old Ciro, the impact of city traffic is truly traumatic for Bruno.

The big moment has arrived. Our nine students from Class 3C are just one step away from the fateful finish line: their final exams. They all share a common feeling: fear, and are gripped by a sudden and frantic attachment to their studies. Sharing the anxiety and strain of those moments is an unusual private student: Commendatore Zampetti, forced by work to sit his final exams alongside the students from Class 3C.
