Monty Kessler (Brendan Fraser) a világ egyik legnevesebb felsőoktatási intézményének, a Harvard egyetemnek végzős joghallgatója. Már csak egy dolog van hátra számára az egyetemből, a szakdologzat leadása, amikor utoléri minden dolgozatíró rémálma: a számítógépe elszáll, és vele több hónap munkája. Szerencséjére van egy kinyomtatott példány, és ezzel boldogan vágtat a fénymásoló felé. Ekkor éri a legnagyobb csapás: az irományt véletlenül beleejti a csatornába. Monty alászáll, hogy dolgozatát visszaszerezze, és az alagsori alagutakban rábukkan a hajléktalan Simonra (Joe Pesci), akinek az ölébe hullott az írás. Ám a becsületes megtaláló csak oldalanként némi ennivalóért cserébe hajlandó visszaadni a dolgozatot szerzőjének. És ahogy Monty és barátai elkezdik látogatni a csatornatöltelék Simont, olyan dolgokat tanulnak tőle, amit egyetlen egyetemen se tanítanak.
