Danny Zuko is back in Rydell High School for senior year. He's a bad boy who wears a leather jacket and hangs out with others who do the same. He tells his friends, the T-Birds (or the Burger Palace Boys, if you're going by the play), about the great summer vacation he had at the beach with the girl named Sandy. She has just transferred to Rydell High and is trying to make friends, which happens to include the Pink Ladies. She is "The Ingenue", and she is also a senior. She tells her side of the story at the same time. Then the other girls realize the fella she was with was Danny, and they take her to meet him. At that moment, he is more interested in maintaining his image than acting like the sensitive guy Sandy remembered, and she leaves broken-hearted. They love each other. Can they get past their differences and get together before the end of senior year?
