St Trinians 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold sees the schoolgirls start a new term amidst the chaos and excitement. A rollercoaster style treasure hunt for the legendary Fritton's Gold ensues as they face their most fearsome establishment rivals yet, but the feisty and ever-resourceful girls of St Trinians are undeterred in their mission to outwit the villainous Pomfrey and his sidekicks from the women-hating secret society known as AD1.
It starts when an unknown man phones St Trinians, and gets Celia to find a ring in the school library. She's caught by the other school girls and then explains that the man proposed to give her £20,000 for the ring. The girls believe they can get more, and the Head Girl—Annabelle Fritton—asks for £100,000. The deal was cancelled for being too high. They talk with the principal, Miss Fritton, and she begins to tell them of Pirate Fritton, her and Annabelle's ancestor. She says he had a treasure hidden somewhere in the world. The ring is half of the answer. There were two rings made, and once fitted together they are the map to the treasure.
That night, the unknown caller turns out to be Sir Piers Pomfrey, the descendent of Lord Pomfrey, a man robbed by Pirate Fritton. Sir Piers steals the ring from Ms Fritton, and escapes. The girls then search for the second ring. They begin at the library, where one finds a card with riddles on how to get to the second ring. It's revealed that they need to dig into Pirate Fritton's own grave, to get another card. While searching the grave, Annabelle is possessed by Pirate Fritton's soul. Annabelle, still possessed, is brought back to the school, where the girls ask what the riddle means. They then head off to an all-boys school nearby (based on English boarding school, Eton) to find the next clue, whilst undercover as boys themselves. They enter the headmaster's room, where a hung painting hides the other ring.
With the second ring in their possession, the St Trinian girls set off to get the first ring, still in the hands of Sir Piers. The headmistress tracks down Geoffrey Thwaites, whose career had been ruined (by the events at the end of the previous film), and who had become a mess without Ms Fritton, after she found out he knew Sir Piers. She then discovers Geoffrey had previously been in Sir Piers's anti-female society. Thwaites joins forces with the girls (now including Kelly, Annabelle's predecessor as head girl) and go under cover to retrieve the first ring. The attempt fails, and the girls head back to the school. Meanwhile, Geoffrey is undercover in Pomfrey's meeting (which is held at the notable English day school, City of London), when he is called upon by Sir Piers to give his ideas. Geoffrey then rants about women and how bad they are, while wearing a camera that shows the girls at St Trinian's what he is doing. The speech is a ruse to gain Pomfrey's trust, and Geoffrey swaps the real ring with a fake one, later presenting it to Ms Fritton.
The rings lead them to the Globe Theatre in London. They first create a distraction, knowing they will be followed by AD1 workers. Once escaped they get to the Globe, where they are faced with the actor and actress playing Romeo and Juliet. Romeo duels Geoffrey in a sword fight and Romeo gets knocked out. Then Ms Fritton knocks out Juliet. Ms Fritton and Geoffrey then take up the roles of Romeo and Juliet in an attempt to distract the audience. The girls begin to get close to the treasure while Sir Piers discovers the fake ring and gets to the Globe immediately. They stand in the audience, and because they are a secret organization, must wait until the play is over. But Ms Fritton and Geoffrey notice them and begin to stall as long as possible. The girls make it to a secret room and find the treasure. The treasure is Shakespeare's final play: Queen Lear. They find too that Pirate Fritton had never wanted to be a pirate, but a playwright, and that Shakespeare was Pirate Fritton. Also discovered is that Shakespeare/Pirate Fritton was a woman. At that moment, Sir Piers enters, takes the Queen Lear script, and says he will destroy it. He always knew about Pirate Fritton being a woman and thought that it should never be known.
