SYNOPSIS: Mr. Potcher cancels the arts and extracurricular activities in the school where he has been hired as consultant. Darcy, a student desperate to fit in with the other kids, tries to change his mind. But she not only fails, she also inadvertently gives him the idea to eliminate all the holidays, which he does with a magic calendar. The outraged students ostracize Darcy.
 
Darcy has a nightmare of being taunted by Mr. Potcher and the students. But then, still dreaming, she consults with Plato and Shakespeare and hatches a plan with Cupid, Santa, Easter Bunny, Leprechaun, Jack-o-lantern and Turkey to change Mr. Potcher's mind.
 
The next day, Darcy is amazed to see that the scheme goes into effect. Mr. Potcher winds up madly in love and open to the beauty in life. He reinstates the arts classes, extracurricular activities and all the holidays. And the students hail Darcy as the hero she aspired to become.
