To help Ray find a missing girl, Fraser goes undercover as a teacher at the all-girl school. The mystery deepens when artifacts from Al Capone's days start showing up around town.

Detailed Overview

During their search for a rare bottle of scotch, Fraser and Ray stumble upon Ray's eighth grade girlfriend, Anne, who is looking for a missing girl in a local bar. Anne reveals she's a nun. When Ray reveals to her that he's a cop, she reacts harshly. Ray convinces her to let him help her find the girl, Celine.

Things go smoothly until Ray's undercover teacher doesn't show, but Fraser comes to the rescue in a dress.

In searching for Celine, an antique gun, once belonging to Elliot Ness, provides Ray the only clue in the mystery. At the school, Fraser becomes Ms. Fraser in an attempt to uncover Celine's whereabouts from the other students. Ms. Fraser, the new art teacher, narrowly escapes detection by the school's bad girls, and befriends Celine's troubled roommate Melissa.

At the school dance, the attractive Ms. Fraser dances with the male teacher from the boys' school who fancies himself the re-incarnation of an early Travolta. While investigating the many secrets of the corridors and tunnels of a girls' school, Fraser helps Melissa overcome her shyness with boys, finds the missing girl, and makes a discovery that even Al Capone would not have dreamed of.
