Mrs. Cornwall's pre-algebra final exam looks like it's going to be a tough one. However, some of her students have decided to take more extreme measures beyond studying. Fillmore sleeps over in the school to safeguard the exam, but an unexpected blizzard leaves him standing alone to face a desperate gang of determined exam thieves.

Spring break has arrived, so Fillmore's taking the time to visit his former partner, Wayne Liggett. In Wayne's new school, something about the Safety Patrol stinks. The prize pralines of the school have been stolen, and the prime suspect is their Patrol Sheriff Thrift—who just so happens to be the son of their principal.

Something's down at the X Middle School Open—professional golfers are failing at games, and foul play is suspected. Normally, Fillmore would be all-up for an undercover job like this, but something in his past is making him hesitate.

The Ultrabox, the hottest new game system on the market, makes its debut at X, and everyone wants one—including "The Maestro," a gaming mastermind who will stop at nothing to get it. Fillmore and Ingrid track him down, but the Ultrabox is stolen while he's in custody. It looks like a copycat is on the loose.

Vallejo's nearing his second term test for Junior Commissioner, and in the meantime, a crime crops up involving "The Shredder", an anonymous criminal who shreds people's pet projects. Unfortunately, not a single one of the victims saw the Shredder's face. This seems like a job for Vallejo's old profiler partner, Frank Bishop, who was driven from the Safety Patrol in disgrace. He is tasked to deduce a pattern to the Shredder's crimes and discover who is next on the list.

Vampirita, a series of novels about an astronaut vampiress, has attracted a huge following at X—and none moreso than Torrey and Terri. The next installment of the series will be released in a fortnight, and until then, fans can audition to star in the next book. The girls start to build projects to win the auditions, but every time one is finished, it gets sabotaged. The main suspects are two members of a rival novel's fan club, however, the evidence seems to point to neither of them.

Fillmore's partner moves away to Tennessee, and he is partnered up with Brad Parnassus, the smartest kid at X Middle School. Rebellious and super-smart new student Ingrid Third doesn't take her introduction to X student body well at all, and a giant stink bomb soon explodes in the hallways.

Mrs. Lawson's field trip to the Modern Contemporary Natural History, Art, Science and Miniature Museum takes a horrifying turn as someone draws a mustache on the priceless painting "The Lobster Man at Port".

After accidentally destroying Folsom's birthday party, Fillmore and Ingrid are asked to do convention duty. However, the train convention experiences sabotage, leaving the entire convention ruined. Fillmore and Ingrid first suspect the RC Car Club to be behind it, but the evidence points in the other direction.

Guildenstern, the Science Department's tarantula mascot, has been poisoned, and the prime suspect, Eric Orben, has escaped into the city. Fillmore is given a permit to go out and track him down, but he has to contend with a relentless opponent from his bad-boy past.

Someone has stolen X Middle School's beloved mascot, Lobstee the Lobster. Time is running out for both Lobstee and the Bocce Team, and the key to finding him before time runs out might be X's resident psychic, Alistair Greystone.

X Middle School's bathroom renovation project teeters on the brink of disaster as the new tagger "STAINLESS" strikes at will. Out of leads, Fillmore and Ingrid turn to Randall Julian, the former vandal "FLAVA SAVA", currently in solitary detention. His help puts them back on the trail, but Randall escapes, forcing Fillmore and Ingrid to hunt down both "STAINLESS" and "FLAVA SAVA" before they strike again.

Duappy, a virtual pet kept alive the longest, has been stolen, and it is up to Fillmore and Ingrid to find X's pride and joy before a reporter comes to X to do a story on Duappy and before Duappy dies.

Tina and Toby are the stars of the school at both dancing and smoit-collecting. Smoits are tokens found on dairy bars and packets of chips used to buy basically anything a kid could want once enough of them are saved up. The smoit stash goes missing, and Fillmore and Ingrid go undercover in X's steamy underground casino scene. They discover Toby's gambling debts, and he becomes the prime suspect, which destroys his dance partnership with Tina.

The heat is on from Student Council Representative Peabody to get illegal term papers off the street, but the perps always seem one step ahead of the Safety Patrol.

They track the papers back to Rudy Teravall, the Kingpin of Home Economics, but just as Fillmore and Ingrid get ready to move in on Rudy's gang, Peabody gets tipped off about bootleg hall passes in Fillmore's desk, resulting in Fillmore getting suspended from the force. Nonetheless, Fillmore is determined to find the term papers—with or without his badge.

The student body is in an uproar when the controversial S.A.T.T.Y. 9 tests are stolen by an assailant dressed as X's beloved mascot, Lobstee the Lobster. Fillmore and Ingrid are under pressure—they have only 48 hours to find the tests or Principal Folsom will have the entire school take the tests again.
