It is Mr Brown’s birthday, and everyone in the class has brought him a present. But it is not all happy returns when Miss Courtney informs Mr Brown that his trial month is over and she dismisses him, replacing him with a new teacher named Miss Hardacre.
However, Miss Courtney finds out that said Miss Hardacre has a more masculine and imposing attitude than many other men and is taking over the school, so she dismisses her and brings Mr Brown back.
