The girls burn their school to the ground, and subsequently are found guilty at the Old Bailey. The judge, however, is keen on leggy blonde Rosalie (Julie Alexander), and under her influence the girls are freed when Professor Canford of the University of Bagdad (Cecil Parker) claims he can rehabilitate the girls with the tutelage of teacher Miss Harker-Packer (Irene Handl), and requests they be placed in his custody for a 12-month probationary period. Canford’s real scheme is not so benevolent, and he has ulterior motives for sending the St. Trinian’s Sixth Form girls, along with Flash Harry (George Cole) and police Sgt. Ruby Gates (Joyce Grenfell), on a bogus cultural tour of the Greek Islands aboard a luxury yacht.

The girls of St. Trinian's hatch yet another fiendish plot—a trade union for British schoolgirls. Their friend and mentor, Flash Harry, suggests a plan which involves kidnapping girls from other rather more respectable colleges and substituting their own "agents". Thus begins a hilarious, often bloody, battle of wits as the girls meet resistance not only from Olga Vandermeer, their Headmistress, but from the Minister of Education, a private detective, and an oil sheikh. Despite all his desperate efforts to foil the conspiracy, the Minister has to face a growing realisation that the girls' demands will have to be met—for him this will mean a very great and very personal sacrifice.

En 1920, M. Pascal, un jeune instituteur, blessé de guerre, arrive dans une petite ville de Provence. Sa conception libérale de l'enseignement dérange le conservatisme de son prédécesseur, du maire et de la plupart des édiles qui vont tenter de le chasser. Rompant avec les méthodes disciplinaires, il suscite l'intérêt et la participation de ses élèves. En faisant découvrir aux enfants, mille aspects de la nature, des techniques et des métiers, il met en valeur les capacités et les goûts de chacun. La cabale organisée contre lui échouera devant la réussite de ses élèves ; Il parvient en particulier à ramener à l'école, Albert, le pire cancre et à le conduire à réussir son certificat d'études.
