One spring day in a [[Chicago]] suburb, high school senior Ferris Bueller [[Malingering|fakes illness]] to stay home from school, two months before his graduation, regularly [[Fourth wall|breaking the fourth wall]]. His parents, Katie and Tom, believe he is ill, though his sister, Jeanie, does not. After learning Ferris is absent from school for the ninth time that semester, the school's [[Dean (education)|dean]], Edward Rooney and his secretary, Grace become determined to expose Ferris's chronic [[truancy]]; Ferris has changed his attendance records by [[Hacker|hacking]] into the school's computer system, making it appear as if he attends school regularly.

Ferris persuades his [[hypochondriac]] best friend Cameron Frye to help excuse Ferris's girlfriend Sloane Peterson from school by claiming that her grandmother has died. Cameron calls the school, pretending to be Sloane's father. Knowing Sloane is dating Ferris, Rooney and Grace are suspicious. Ferris also calls the school during Cameron's phone call to confirm his absence, thereby fooling Rooney. To complete the ruse that Sloane's father is picking her up from school, Ferris borrows the prized possession of Cameron's father, a 1961 [[Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder]]. Fearing his father's wrath, Cameron is dismayed when Ferris takes the car on a day trip into Chicago. Ferris promises they will return the car as it was, including preserving the original [[odometer]] mileage.

Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane leave the car with two parking attendants, who promptly take it on a long joyride. The trio eat lunch at an upscale restaurant, visit the [[Art Institute of Chicago]], go to a [[Chicago Cubs]] baseball game, and attend the [[Von Steuben Day]] Parade, where Ferris jumps on a [[Float (parade)|float]] and [[lip sync]]s to "[[Danke Schoen]]" by [[Wayne Newton]] and "[[Twist and Shout]]" by [[The Beatles]].

Rooney prowls the Bueller home for Ferris, becoming victim to several [[pratfall]]s. Jeanie skips class and returns home to confront Ferris, but finds Rooney instead. Shocked by his appearance, she knocks him unconscious and calls the police, mistaking him for a burglar. Rooney regains consciousness and leaves. The police arrest Jeanie, believing she [[prank call]]ed the police station. While detained, she meets and befriends another delinquent who advises her to worry less about Ferris's exploits and more about her own life.

Upon collecting the Ferrari and heading home, Ferris and Cameron discover that the car's mileage has significantly increased. Cameron becomes semi-catatonic from shock, later almost drowning in a pool before a worried Ferris helps him. At Cameron's house, Ferris jacks up the car and reverses it to [[Odometer fraud|rewind the odometer]]. However, this attempt fails and Cameron destroys the car out of anger toward his domineering father. Ferris offers to take the blame, but Cameron decides to tell the truth and stand up to his father. After walking Sloane home, Ferris remembers his parents will be returning soon. He runs through the neighborhood, but is nearly hit by Jeanie's car as Jeanie and Katie drive home. Katie fails to notice Ferris, though Jeanie does. 

Ferris makes it home first, but Rooney confronts him before he can get back inside. Seeing the two through the window, Jeanie has a change of heart and allows Ferris to come inside, claiming that Ferris was at the hospital for his illness. She also shows Rooney his wallet that had fallen from his pocket in the kitchen earlier, tosses it into a nearby puddle, and shuts the back door loud enough to wake up the family's pet [[Rottweiler]], who attacks Rooney. Rooney then flees the house while Ferris rushes back to his bedroom to await his parents, who find him in bed and believe he has been home all day. Meanwhile, in a scene that plays during the end credits, a humiliated, disheveled, and injured Rooney reluctantly accepts a ride on a school bus filled with students who act derisively toward him.

In a [[post-credit scene]], Ferris tells the audience that the movie is over and to go home.
