After Hercules, Iolaus and Jason poke fun at Fiducius, the embarrassed vice headmaster decides to punish the three cadets by making them do chores around Cheiron’s academy over the weekend. Iolaus asks his friends to cover for him since he has to start his new job at Kora's inn later that day. Using fibs and a variety of disguises, Hercules and Jason fool Fiducius into thinking Iolaus is doing his share of the work.
Iolaus ends up getting fired after his first day on the job is a disaster. Meanwhile, Hercules and Jason come across the record belonging to Fiducius’ son while sorting out the archive room. They are shocked to learn that Fiducius’ son was a troublemaker and dropout. Fiducius enters the room while they are looking over the record. He admits the reason he's tough on the cadets is because he doesn't want them to become lost causes like his son. Iolaus arrives back in the midst of all this. After Hercules and Jason explain everything, Fiducius decides to put in a good word for all three of them with Cheiron.
