An unknown person is flipping through a Stankonia yearbook and comes on the photo of Caroline Jones, "Biggest Flirt". After Caroline leaves the bathroom with her girls, Big Boi is shown with his crew. He opens a response he gave to Caroline, asking if she'd be his valentine. Rather than checking off the Yes or No boxes Big Boi put on the paper, she adds her own 'Maybe' option. Upset, Big Boi calls his crew to ride with him to the school. Stankonia is a hip-hop album by OutKast, released by La Face Records (a subcorporation of Arista Records, BMG) on October 31, 2000. ...

André 3000 is shown to be heading a musical on stage, where he sings the song and parodying Caroline, though Caroline herself is oblivious to the parody. During this time, Big Boi’s crew, Speakerboxx, drives to the school, performing acts of vandalism such as knocking mailboxes off. When Big Boi crashes the auditorium where the play is being held, Speakerboxx announces their arrival, which is followed by the men on the stage announcing themselves as The Love Below.

Despite the pleas of the principal for no fighting, the two groups confront each other in the middle of the auditorium and start a large fight. Most of the students wind up in the fight, including the principal himself. Big Boi moves away from the fight and directs his rap to an uncaring Caroline. In the end, an effeminate man (played by Katt Williams) convinces Caroline to “take one last look at the past” before walking off with him. André 3000 himself is carried off, and the scene goes back to the yearbook, where the reader (presumably director, Bryan Barber) falls asleep after getting to “The End”.
