Detailed Synopsis

Rufus welcomes the viewer to the future of San Dimas, California in 2688, which is a utopia. He continues that 700 years ago the Great Ones ran into a problem that he had to help them out with.

In San Dimas, California in 1988, Ted "Theodore" Logan and Bill S. Preston are practicing when they blow out one of their speakers. Bill tells Ted that he doesn't think the Wyld Stallyns will make it as a band without Eddie Van Halen on guitar, while Ted doesn't think they will get Eddie Van Halen to join their band until they get a triumphant video. Bill realizes they are late to school and they go to San Dimas High School where Mr. Ryan is quizzing Bill and Ted about historical figures. After class Ryan tells Bill and Ted that unless they get an A+ on their upcoming oral report, then he is going to fail them. Bill reads the assignment instructions where they are supposed to express to the class how an important historical figure from different time periods would view the world of San Dimas in 1988. Missy/Mom drives up and offers them a ride. She drops off Bill so he can get his books and when Bill goes inside his house, Captain Logan is looking for his keys. Logan tells Ted that he spoke with his principle who told him Ted is failing history and threatens that if Ted flunks out of school, he will have to go to Oates Military Academy in Alaska. The Three Most Important People in the World tell Rufus that it is time for him to help Bill and Ted and send him back in time in a modified telephone booth. While Bill and Ted are studying, Missy/Mom brings them food. Mr. Preston walks into Bill's room and kicks him out so he can have sex with Missy/Mom. They go to Circle K and Ted asks Store Clerk when the Mongols ruled China, but Store Clerk doesn't know. Rufus lands in the telephone booth and tells them that he is there to help them with their history report. Another telephone booth arrives with Bill and Ted from the future. They tell current Bill and Ted to trust Rufus and to give their love to the princesses before they leave.
