Hunger, rubble, soldiers returning from war: young Charlotte is pregnant, but her beloved Ludwig doesn't want her or his child. In order to win him over and avoid the impending disgrace, she signs up for the "Fräuleinkurs" by the actress Gloria Deven who had been an aspiring star under the Nazis, but is now banned from working. But Gloria isn't interested in reviving the coquetry that had become unnecessary during the war. Instead, she awakens in her students a longing for something that has been denied them for too long: freedom. —German Films Service + Marketing GmbH

Todd Howard (Jason Bateman), the cousin of Scott Howard, has recently been accepted into Hamilton University on a full athletic scholarship on the recommendation of Coach Bobby Finstock (Paul Sand), who was Scott's basketball coach at Beacontown High. Finstock's hope is that Todd has the family genes to become a Werewolf and turn Finstock's new struggling boxing team into championship contenders. Dean Dunn (John Astin) has put Finstock under a lot of pressure to win the upcoming regional boxing championships. Dunn is not happy about Finstock bringing in Todd, as Todd has not achieved anything in the sports arena as of yet. Dean Dunn has promised the alumni that he will give them a winning boxing team and the closest Todd has ever been to sports is in a marching band, playing the clarinet. Uncle Harold Howard (James Hampton) drops Todd off the college and Todd hasn't had his first Wolf-Out yet. Todd is not looking forward to his Wolf-out and feels that the condition embarrasses him. Todd wants to fit in. Harold says sometimes it can skip a generation, so nothing to worry about. Rupert "Stiles" Stilinski (Stuart Fratkin) is Todd's roommate. Stiles was Scott's best friend in high school and knows all about the "family problem". Stiles changes all of Todd's classes and registers him for the classes that have majority of girls in them. Chubby is their dorm mate and the current college boxing champion. The admissions lady (Kathleen Freeman) is rude and doesn't allow changes to classes. But Todd starts to have a Wolf-out with glowing eyes and a deep, throaty voice, and she gets scared and agrees to everything that Todd says. Having never been very good at sports, and because he is more interested in being a veterinarian, Todd is certain that Finstock has the wrong guy. Professor Tanya Brooks (Kim Darby) is Todd's faculty advisor and knows about his situation. Todd has signed up for the science courses in college to achieve his dream. Finstock tells Todd that he is supposed to train for boxing. Todd finally understands that Finstock gave him a sports scholarship (due to his surname and the fact that he coached Scott at his previous high school) as he expects Todd to wolf-out and win the boxing championship for them. Todd is shockingly bad in the boxing ring. Finstock's job is the on the line and he has staked everything on Todd's Wolf-out. Todd meets Nicki (Estee Chandler) in class and befriends her. Todd even asks Nicki out on a date. During a meet and greet reception of school alumni, Todd has his first "Wolf-out" while dancing with a seductive hostess Lisa Goldfluss (Beth Ann Miller). Dean Dunn forced Lisa to dance with Todd, even though Todd was there with Nicki as his date. Todd was getting all Handsy and flirty with Lisa when the Wolf-out occurs. At first, Todd is horrified by his "family affliction", and fellow students begin to harass him (Putting ants under his seat in class, no dogs allowed signs all over the college). Stiles on the other hand wants Todd to take advantage of his tremendous gift. Dean Dunn threatens Todd with expulsion if he loses his first upcoming fight. Brooks and Nicki are very supportive during this phase. Nicki kisses Todd to improve his self-esteem as he believes that everybody thinks he is a dog. Then, during his first boxing match, after nearly getting knocked out, Todd has his second "Wolf-out" only this time he is able to display his supernatural agility and strength and has a dramatic come from behind victory, thus earning the admiration of the students as well as the strict Dean Dunn. With his newfound fame comes girls, top grades and even the dean's car but as the year goes on, Todd realizes that he is losing his friends and self-respect as he ignored his friends and supporters. Todd starts spending with the college heart throb Lisa and ignores Nicki. Chubby (Mark Holton) was the previous boxing favorite before Todd found his abilities and feel lefts out. Steve "Gus" Gustavson is Todd's greatest rival in the ring as the 2 are in different colleges and are heading towards a final's bout for the championship. Nicki tries to tell Todd that they all only love the Wolf, and not Todd. Even Prof Brooks tells Todd that having special powers, brings special responsibilities. Brooks tells Tood that he is failing her class. Todd quickly realizes that the fame goes away once the Wolf thing is too old. And all the friends that he ignored on the way up, now ignore him on the way down. Todd seeks out advice from his uncle, Scott's father, Harold Howard, who helps Todd comes to terms with his responsibilities and prepares him for the championship which he says Todd should out without wolfing out. Todd also reconnects with his girlfriend, Nicki, who helps him regain his focus of being humble. Todd decides to take the final test with Prof Brooks, by studying all night with Nicki. The test was on the same day as the championship match, and just 3 hours before. Todd prioritizes his studies over fame and adulation due to the wolf. Todd passes the test with Brooks and wins her respect. Todd then decides that he will fight his championship match against Steve "Gus" Gustavson (Robert Neary), who Todd had prior issues with, as himself rather than the wolf much to the dismay of all except his uncle, girlfriend and Professor Tanya Brooks. Dean meets Todd in the locker room before the fight and threatens him of revoking his scholarship, if Todd doesn't fight as a wolf. He promises to take care of grade, cars and women, if Todd complies. Brooks, who unbeknownst to Todd is also a werewolf, intimidates Dean Dunn with glowing red eyes, growling, and swaying her tail. After losing round after round, and nearly getting knocked out, Todd is tempted to become the wolf until he sees Nicki mouth the words "I love you" to him. This gives Todd the strength to overcome Gus and knocks him out to a roaring ovation.

High school student Scott Howard (Michael J Fox) is seventeen years old, sick of being average and wishing he were special. His father Harold (James Hampton) runs a local hardware store. Scott plays basketball for his high school's team, the Beavers, with a not-so-good win-loss record. The Beavers are last in the league and their coach want to forfeit their games against the top teams, rather than go through the humiliation of losing by huge margins. Chubby (Mark Holton) is one of the players on the team who is particularly overweight. The girl of his dreams, Pamela Wells (Lorie Griffin), is dating Mick (Mark Arnold), a jerk from an opposing high school team, the Dragons. Boof is Scott's best friend, but Scott cannot notice that Boof is interested in him. Pamela is on the school play team. Scott wants to quit basketball and join the school play, just so he can spend more time with Pamela and get her to notice him. After another of the team's losses, Scott begins to notice strange changes to his body (long hairs in the chest, hypersensitivity to high pitched sounds, elevated heart rate, a rash on his back). Scott's friend Stiles wants him to help get a keg of beer for his upcoming party. The liquor store refuses to sell any without an ID proof. But Scott suddenly gets a very deep, throaty voice and red glowing eyes that scares the store attendant into selling him one. While at a school party at Stiles's house, Scott keeps undergoing changes. Stiles is the party master and engages the whole gang in games. Each girl has pulled out a name of a boy from a hat and Stiles asks them adult stuff to do together. Boof says that she had Scott's name (even though she didn't) and gets 2 minutes in the closet with him where "anything goes". Boof slaps Scott when he gets too "handsy" and emerges from the closet with the back of dress shredded to pieces. Eventually Scott returns home, locks himself in the bathroom, and undergoes a complete change and becomes a werewolf, while his father demands that he open the door. He tries to refuse, only to finally give in and obey, to find his father has also transformed into a werewolf. Harold never told his son about the condition because "sometimes it skips a generation" and he was hoping it wouldn't happen to Scott. Scott's perception of the werewolf is made from the movies, and he is afraid that he will end up becoming a freak. Howard tries to counsel him that being a werewolf will give Scott many advantages as well. As Scott acts anxious in school, vice principal Rusty Thorne keeps a close eye on him and wants to see his hands. Scott reveals his transformation to Stiles and he says that he is learning to control his change into a Werewolf. Boof knows that something is bothering Scott and tries to reach out to him, but he doesn't open up to her. Scott first reveals his transformation to the public at one of his basketball games, after getting pinned in a pile-up. After momentarily stunning the crowd with The Wolf, Scott goes on to wow them with his basketball skills and he finishes the game with a quadruple double. Scott subsequently learns to use his family "curse" to gain popularity at school, becoming the team's star basketball player, and learns to transform at will between his normal self and The Wolf. His basketball team goes from last to first, and Scott begins spending most of his school time as The Wolf. He also wins the interest of Pamela while ignoring the affections of his best friend, Boof (Susan Ursitti), who has loved him since childhood. Scott's other best friend Stiles (Jerry Levine), a party animal with an entrepreneurial streak, quickly cashes in on Scott's new-found popularity, selling Teen Wolf T-shirts and other merchandise. Stiles' "Wolfmania" reaches such extremes that Scott trades in his own vehicle for a step van dubbed "Wolfmobile." After he gets a role as a "Werewolf cavalryman" in the school play alongside her, Pamela comes onto him in the dressing room, and they have sex. Later, after a date set up to make Mick jealous, Pamela tells Scott that she is not interested in him as a boyfriend, much to his disappointment. Harold tells Scott he is responsible for his son's conflicts with vice principal Rusty Thorne (Jim McKrell), due to a scare Harold had given him when he was in high school. He advises Scott to be himself. Boof agrees to go with Scott to the upcoming Spring Dance, but only if he goes as himself. Scott goes alone as the Wolf instead. She takes him into the hallway, and they kiss, which turns Scott back into himself. When they return to the dance, Scott garners everyone's attention, including Pamela. A jealous Mick punches him in the face, then proceeds to insult Boof and taunt Scott until the Wolf angrily attacks. Scott runs out of the hall right into Thorne, who threatens expulsion. Harold sends his son home before going on to intimidate Thorne by growling in his face, causing the vice principal to wet himself. During the final basketball game (Beavers vs. Dragons again), Scott refuses to "wolf out" and insists on winning the game on his own. Coach Bobby Finstock (Jay Tarses) tells Scott that the team is doomed to fail without The Wolf, but Scott is able to prove him wrong. In a dramatic game ending, and with the help of five fouls from Mick, Scott is able to rally the team back to within a point as time is expiring. Scott is fouled one last time by Mick on the final play and given two shots. Mick stands underneath the basket as Scott attempts his foul shots. Scott makes both baskets and the Beavers win the game by one point. Pamela smugly expects to get Scott's attention after the game is over, but he passes her by to hold Boof in his arms, kissing her passionately. Mick tells Pamela that they should leave, but she tells him to "drop dead" and storms off while everyone else celebrates the victory.

Pee-Wee Herman wakes from a dream in which he has won the Tour de France. After having breakfast, Pee-Wee decides to ride his bike down to the local shopping center. The bicycle itself is heavily customized, tricked out with specialized fenders, a spring-loaded ejection seat, custom wheel caps and a gold license plate declaring it's his property. Pee Wee keeps it in a hidden shed protected by a coded theft system and camouflaged by a bush. Pee Wee spends a short period of time polishing and admiring his bike before he meets up with Francis Buxton, a local and spoiled overgrown rich kid who wants to buy Pee-Wee's bike as a birthday gift for himself. Pee-Wee rebukes this offer and ridicules Francis, before cycling off, with Francis shouting after him that "he'll be sorry." Pee-Wee arrives at the shopping center, where he chains his bike to a clown statue, before stopping off at a nearby magic shop. Next, he goes to the local bicycle shop to procure a new horn. While there, an employee and friend of Pee-Wee's named Dottie, attempts to ask Pee-Wee on a date, which he refuses, telling her he's too much of a "loner" and a "rebel" for her. Pee-Wee then returns to his bike... only to find the chains destroyed and his bike gone. He returns to the bike shop and yells for Dottie and faints. Pee-Wee goes to the police, but they are unable to help him. When asked if anyone might have really wanted his bike, Pee-Wee surmises that Francis Buxton must have taken it. Pee-Wee sneaks into the Buxton's mansion, and forces Francis to confess. However, Francis' father explains that Francis couldn't have stolen the bike, since Francis and his father have been at the mansion setting up his birthday train set all morning. Pee-Wee is still determined to find his bike, and begins to post fliers and goes on the radio to alert people about it. Unknown to Pee-Wee, Francis did have a hand in the theft of his bike, hiring a shady guy to steal the bike for him. However, with Pee-Wee not giving up the search, Francis becomes nervous and pays the hired guy extra to get rid of the bicycle. Down on his luck, Pee-Wee wanders the rainy streets of town - scaring off a small gang merely by hissing at them - and visits a phony psychic, who convinces Pee-Wee that his bike is in the basement of The Alamo. Pee-Wee then sets out on his epic journey to get there. His first encounter while hitchhiking is with an escaped criminal named Mickey driving a stolen Edsel Corsair, who was arrested for cutting the tag off a mattress. Even with his criminal background, Pee-Wee still takes a shine to Mickey, and helps him get past a police roadblock. That evening, while driving, Pee-Wee almost gets them killed when he tries to swerve around a series of (impossible) turns in the road. Mickey has had enough of his eccentric travel-mate and orders Pee-Wee out of the car, before driving off into the dark night. Pee-Wee next hitches a ride from a rather strange trucker named Large Marge, who tells him a creepy story about "the worst accident I ever seen" which happened 10 years earlier on the very same road they're on. Pee Wee hangs on her every word until her face suddenly becomes horribly monstrous and he screams before she changes back. After dropping him off at a truck stop restaurant, and telling Pee-Wee "Be sure an' tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!" Pee-Wee is further shocked to find that Large Marge was killed ten years ago to the day... and that he was riding with her ghost. After the ordeal, Pee-Wee attempts to have a meal, but finds that his wallet is gone (which was stolen earlier by the phony psychic). After washing and drying dishes in the kitchen to pay for his meal, a friendly waitress named Simone asks him to watch the sunrise with her. They sit together in the mouth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex statue nearby, and while watching the sunrise, Simone and Pee-Wee discuss their dreams. Simone's dream is to one day go to Paris, but she feels her boyfriend Andy won't let her. Pee-Wee encourages her to follow her dreams. However, as they exit the statue at dawn, the hulking Andy is waiting to clobber Pee-Wee, thinking 'the worst' has happened. Pee-Wee escapes on a nearby freight train, where he runs into a hobo named Jack, who then proceeds to sing all manner of songs until Pee-Wee finally jumps from the train... which just happened to have arrived in San Antonio, Texas. Pee-Wee quickly seeks out the Alamo and takes a boring and sappy tour, only to find that it doesn't have a basement! Dejected and back to square one, Pee-Wee attempts to take a bus home, when he runs into Simone, who explains that she left Andy, and is planning to go to Paris and follow her dreams. Shortly after she leaves, her jealous boyfriend Andy appears, and on seeing Pee-Wee, gives chase. The chase leads them to a rodeo, where Pee-Wee, disguised as a cowboy, rides a bull. He stays on for a record amount of time but is thrown off. When he's spotted by Andy, the thug tries to catch him but is chased off by another bull. However, Pee-Wee suffers a slight concussion, and lapses into a temporary state of amnesia. When the small crowd that revived him asks if he can remember anything, he says he remembers the Alamo and they all cheer. Wandering the road lonely and lost, Pee-Wee finds a tavern, the private hangout of a gang named "Satan's Helpers", a loud and rowdy group of bikers. While trying to make a phone call, he shushes them. They eject him. After accidentally knocking over their bikes, the bikers are intent on killing Pee-Wee, but give into his 'last request,' and watch as he dons a pair of white platform loafers and dances to the song "Tequila". Having won them over, the bikers then give Pee-wee one of their motorcycles, and send him on his way. Unfortunately, Pee-Wee's first time on a motorcycle proves disastrous, and he crashes shortly thereafter. The gang escorts his ambulance to the hospital. After being rushed to the hospital, Pee-Wee has a strange dream about a group of clown-faced doctors trying to repair his bicycle and then having it dropped in a flaming cauldron, with Francis nearby, dressed as the Devil. Pee Wee wakes up a little later to see a television program, showing his bike had been donated to a child actor on the Warner Brothers studio lot. Immediately regaining his memory, Pee-Wee heads to Hollywood, California. After sneaking into the studio's backlot, he discovers that his bike is a prop in a movie about an orphaned kid who leaves it to the orphanage before he sets out on his own. Disguised as a nun, he steals the bicycle from the set. After leading the studio's security on a wild chase through various sound stages, including a Godzilla set, a beach party setup, one dedicated to Christmas and Santa and past the band Twisted Sister shooting a music video, Pee-Wee manages to escape from the studio, but not before finding a burning pet store nearby. Pee-Wee manages to rescue almost all the animals, but in the wake of his heroism, is arrested by the police for his transgressions on the studio lot. However, after hearing his side of the story and events, one of the studio's executives sees the potential for a movie based on Pee-Wee's 'big adventure.' Pee-Wee agrees, only to have the film made into an action film starring James Brolin as a spy and Morgan Fairchild as his love interest. Pee-Wee himself is relegated to a cameo as a hotel bellhop with a dubbed-over voice. Even so, Pee-Wee is thrilled, and invites all his friends and people he met on his trip to view the picture at the local drive-in. Mickey is there, still imprisoned and heavily guarded. Pee Wee gives him a footlong hotdog, but the guards find a hacksaw blade that Pee Wee had tried to pass Mickey. Simone is there with her new French boyfriend, Pierre. And his friends in the biker gang are there too. Francis even shows up, persuading a press junket about what "good friends" he and Pee-Wee are. Francis even attempts to sit on Pee-Wee's bike for a photo-op. Pee Wee of course wants no part of it but realizes his opportunity to have his revenge and invites Francis on. With the brat in place, Pee Wee triggers the bike's ejection seat and Francis is sent hurtling skyward. Dottie is there too, having finally gotten her date with him. Pee-Wee wants to leave early, admitting he doesn't need to see the whole film, since he already lived it.
