Plot

Del Goodlow has always lived in the Los Angeles hood and works at a gym his father started. The gym was meant to keep kids off the streets, from doing drugs and joining gangs. But now, his father is in jail and the gym is being driven into debt.

One day, Del's father Dre calls him and tells him he has a surprise. In jail, he informs Del about $1 million hidden in the basement of a flop house. Del goes to the address and finds that it has been turned into a fraternity. He tries to get into the basement by posing as a fire inspector but is caught because his badge is written in Spanish. He comes back later to rush the fraternity KAX. Del is sent to the side with the other non-white people, but coaxes them into leaving and joins with the white people.

After several initiation rituals which include spanking with bats, cleaning a house with toothbrushes, and wearing baby costumes at a house party, Del eventually earns the fraternity's trust and manages to steal the money, but is discovered by fraternity member Brock. Del convinces the other members he did not steal it and they go to a gym where Del discovers his friends have been tied up by his Uncle Leon, who has the money.

The fraternity, Del's mother, Uncle Leon, and a gang all want the money. As Leon holds the gang leader at gunpoint, he is killed by a falling air conditioner, which Del's mother had been constantly saying needed to be fixed. In the end, everyone gets some of the money, the gym is saved, and the leader of the gang gets a job at the gym. The KAX fraternity helps renovate the gym and do "real charity".
