12-vuotias Joe Spud on rikas, suorastaan järjettömän, tolkuttoman rikas! Hänellä on kotikartanossaan mm. formula-auto, keilarata, elokuvateatteri, jopa kaksi krokotiilia! Mutta tärkein puuttuu: oma ystävä. Joe käy aluksi Englannin kalleinta yksityiskoulua, jossa oppiaineina on mm. hevospoolo, kuninkaallistietous ja pensaiden muotoilu. Koulussa häntä kuitenkin kiusataan, koska isä Spud on luonut jättiomaisuutensa Puhtopeppu-vessapaperilla. Nyt Joe aloittaa uudessa, aivan tavallisessa koulussa, missä hän ystävystyy mukavan Bobin kanssa. Uusilla luokkakavereilla ei ole aavistustakaan Spudien valtavasta omaisuudesta. Mutta eräänä päivänä koulun pihaan pörrähtää helikopteri tuomaan Joen unohtunutta historianläksyä... Kun yllättävät tapahtumat pääsevät vauhtiin, moni saa oppia, mikä elämässä on todella tärkeää.
