"Grease"

During summer vacation of 1959, local boy Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and holiday-maker Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) meet at the beach and fall in love. When the summer comes to an end, Sandy, who is going back to Australia, frets that they may never meet again, but Danny tells her that their love is "only the beginning." The animated opening credits follow (Grease), introducing the primary cast.

On the first day of school at Rydell High following the end of summer, Danny, a greaser, is reunited with his friends, the T-Birds: his bad-boy best friend Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) and their three bumbling sidekicks, Doody (Barry Pearl), Putzie (Kelly Ward), and Sonny (Michael Tucci). The Pink Ladies, the T-Birds' female counterparts—raunchy leader Betty Rizzo (Stockard Channing), sophisticated Marty (Dinah Manoff), and juvenile Jan (Jamie Donnelly)—arrive and claim that they're going to "rule the school" in their senior year. Sandy, whose family had unexpectedly cancelled their plans to return to Australia, enrolls at Rydell and is shown around the school by Frenchy (Didi Conn), another Pink Lady. At lunchtime, Danny and Sandy share memories of their summer romance with their respecive friends, unaware of the other's presence at the school (Summer Nights). Rizzo is surprised when Sandy reveals Danny's name on the way back to class, but the Pink Ladies keep quiet about Danny's presence at the school.

The Pink Ladies decide to reunite Danny and Sandy. Initially ecstatic upon seeing Sandy again, Danny quickly attempts to cover his excitement and maintain his cool image in front of the T-Birds, which upsets Sandy. Frenchy decides to cheer Sandy up by inviting her and the other Pink Ladies to a slumber party at her house. However, Sandy's naïve behaviour irriates the other girls. Rizzo leads the girls in mocking Sandy (Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee) after Sandy leaves the room. When Sandy returns, she is embarrassed to find her new friends making fun of her. The T-Birds turn up outside the house, and Rizzo impulsively sneaks off with Kenickie. Later, Sandy wanders outside, where she confronts her feelings about still being in love with Danny (Hopelessly Devoted to You, a song that did not appear in the original musical).

Rizzo and Kenickie park in a rundown part of town and make out passionately in the back seat of his car. The pair makes love, during which Kenickie's condom breaks. However, the couple is interrupted by Leo (Dennis C. Stewart)—leader of the T-Birds' rival gang, the Scorpions—and his girlfriend, Cha-Cha (Annette Charles). Leo then damages Kenickie's car. Kenickie takes the car to the school's workshop for a tune-up, and despite the fact that it is a "hunk o' junk" according to Danny, the latter manages to convince the boys that it could become a top-of-the-line sportscar (Greased Lightning).

Soon afterward, Danny sees Sandy having a milkshake with a jock named Tom Chisholm (Lorenzo Lamas). Regretting his unkind behavior, Danny attempts to win Sandy back by taking up sport. Although hopeless at everything in terms of basketball, wrestling, and baseball, Coach Calhoun (Sid Caesar) suggests he try his hand at track. Although Danny has a natural ability for running, he injures himself while Sandy is present. Sandy is worried in spite of herself, and goes to see if he is all right. After discovering Danny is not badly injured, she consents to date him again, and even considers letting him take her to the school dance. Unfortunately, their date at the Frosty Palace is interrupted when the T-Birds and Pink Ladies show up. Meanwhile, Frenchy, who left Rydell to pursue her dream of being a beautician, has had difficulty in all her classes at beauty school, eventually dying her hair bubblegum pink. She is at odds with what to do until her guardian teen angel (Frankie Avalon) appears to her and suggests she return to Rydell (Beauty School Dropout).

Rizzo and Kenickie break-up. During the school dance, which is also being broadcast live on national television, Rizzo attempts to get at Kenickie by going to the dance with Leo. However, Kenickie retaliates by going with Cha-Cha. Meanwhile, Danny takes Sandy and Doody takes Frenchy. During the dance competition, Danny and Sandy are the last couple left, but as Sandy is dragged away by Sonny, Cha-Cha, who is also an old girlfriend of Danny's, aggressively begins dancing with him. Danny and Cha-Cha ultimately win the contest, but during their spotlight dance, Putzie, Sonny, and Doody moon the cameras. In an attempt to make up with Sandy, Danny takes her to a drive-in movie, where he gives Sandy his ring, which she interprets as how much he cares about her. However, Danny makes several passes at Sandy, which cause her to run off. Danny realizes how much Sandy means to him (Sandy).

Rizzo tells Marty and Sonny that she missed a period and believes she might be pregnant, but makes them promise not to tell anyone. The rumor is soon spread around school, and When Kenickie offers to help, Rizzo rebuffs him, claiming that he isn't the father. A couple of days later, Kenickie and the T-Birds meet the Scorpions for a car race at Thunder Road. Everyone comes to watch except Rizzo, who can't face seeing Kenickie. Patty Simcox (Susan Buckner) and her friends joke about Rizzo's reputation, inciting Rizzo to vindicate her bad-girl image (There Are Worse Things I Could Do). Sandy, who misses Danny dreadfully, decides to try and patch things up between them at the race. Kenickie is knocked out when his own car door swings into his face, forcing Danny to race in his stead, and wins the race. Sandy is delighted but realizes she and Danny are still a world apart unless she takes drastic action (Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise)).

As the school year comes to a close, the group enjoys a carnival at the school. Rizzo reveals that she is not pregnant after all, and she and Kenickie are finally reunited. Danny has earned a letter in track, but the T-Birds resent his new image, viewing it as desertion. Sandy suddenly appears in a tight black outfit and leather jacket, looking more like Rizzo than herself, and is the center of attention at the carnival. She tells Danny that she has done it all for him, and he reciprocates, (You're The One That I Want). As they climb into Danny's car, it takes off into the air. The pair waves back to the others, who are still singing as Danny and Sandy fly off into the sky (We Go Together). The whole class waves goodbye followed by the credits rolling in the style of a yearbook.
