Towards the second half of the film, Connors is able to drastically improve his work in French and History class. Mr. Cleary, however, accuses him of cheating on one of his better translations.
As a result of this, he is highly suspect when Mr. Gierasch announces that someone had cheated in the history exam. Richard "McGoo" Collins is the first to accuse him of cheating.
