It's April Fool's Day, and the rival girls' and boys' clubs of Miss Earth's class are each eager to come up with a good practical joke. But pranks soon lose their appeal when the students' beloved teacher goes missing.

Has the mysterious creature lurking in the woods made a meal of Miss Earth? Is her fiancé, the esteemed Mayor Grass, somehow responsible? The students know the clock is ticking -- they have to find her before time runs out.
