Based on the novel by Barbara Beasley Murphy and Judie Wolkoff
Original air date: 4/2/85
Ace (Mr. Belvedere's Rob Stone) is a bit of a worrywart. His family recently moved from New Jersey to New York City, and he's terrified of the stories he's heard about the Purple Falcons, the ferocious gang at his new school. He imagines a thug hiding out in his closet and, in a synth-heavy musical number, a gang of ex-Solid Gold Dancers assaulting him in the streets. Still, he gathers his courage, puts on an eye patch to cover a sty, and heads off to Marshall High. In homeroom, he befriends Raven (Karen Petrasek), who turns out to be the only female member of the Purple Falcons. Turns out Ace didn't really have anything to worry about. The Falcons (including Ally McBeal's James LeGros and The Larry Sanders Show's Wallace Langham) are tres gay.and, apparently, tres stupid. They assume that he's wearing an eye patch because his eye was poked out in a rumble, and they figure they'd better invite him to become a Falcon before he decides to poke out one of their eyes. Ace accepts the invitation, and before you can say Krush Groove, he gets the entire gang a job working as extras on Street Smarts, a Hollywood movie musical about star-crossed lovers who are also members of gangs. Sort of like West Side Story, but not as butch. When a rival gang called the Piranhas, jealous at the Falcons' success, raids the set and kidnaps Raven, it's up to Ace to rescue her. His solution? He sends them a pink frosted cake with "Make Peace, Not War" written on top. The ploy works - the Piranhas are kinda gay, too - and the reunited Falcons sing, dance, and jump off of a building. The end!
In case you're a little slow on the uptake, "Ace Hits the Big Time" is extremely strange. With its "cool" musical numbers and "say what?" plot developments, this is one After School Special that fans of mid-'80s camp won't want to miss.
I think instead of purple, you mean lavender.
