Handling på engelska – innehåller spoilers

Cry Baby prepares to attend K–12 Sleepaway School. On the bus, her schoolmates bully her ("Wheels on the Bus"). When the bus loses control, Cry Baby and her friend Angelita activate supernatural abilities, allowing them to levitate the bus and land outside of K–12. The two briefly see a ghost before hurrying to class.

During class, a student is removed after refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Cry Baby lends an eraser to a boy named Brandon; his girlfriend, Kelly, becomes jealous and threatens Cry Baby. Cry Baby telephones her mother for advice, but she doesn't respond due to being passed out drunk. Cry Baby imagines a conversation between her mother and father ("Class Fight"). At recess, Kelly attacks Cry Baby, who strangles Kelly with her braids until head teacher Ms. Daphne intervenes, sending them to the principal's office.

Cry Baby learns that the principal is medicating students to control them. She poisons him, but he recovers promptly ("The Principal"). Later, Cry Baby arrives late to class and is turned into a marionette puppet ("Show & Tell"). Still in her doll form, a wounded Cry Baby is sent to the nurse's office, where Angelita returns her to her human form before the nurses restrain and forcibly medicate them ("Nurse's Office"). They are saved by Lilith, an angelic spirit guide, who reveals that they are immortal beings and instructs them to stay in K–12. Later, Cry Baby and Angelita hear music coming from the ballroom and enter to see a crowd of dancing ghosts, but flee before the ghosts can catch them.

In drama class, Cry Baby requests a different role, but is ridiculed by the class ("Drama Club"). During the school play, Cry Baby uses her abilities to free the audience from their brainwashed state. Cry Baby and Angelita meet Celeste, a student with similar abilities.

Cry Baby has disdain with rape culture over men. In a dreamlike sequence, Cry Baby speaks with Lilith again. At lunch, Kelly attempts to befriend Cry Baby, but Cry Baby declines and befriends a girl named Magnolia instead ("Lunchbox Friends"). The group notices that Kelly's friend Fleur also has supernatural abilities. Cry Baby starts a food fight to get Fleur away from Kelly. Learning that Fleur is bulimic, she encourages Fleur to love herself ("Orange Juice"). After returning to the cafeteria, Cry Baby is sent to detention when Kelly informs Leo, the principal's son, of her whereabouts. Her powers weaken, but she manipulates Leo into releasing her ("Detention").

The girls devise a plan to destroy the school, which Leo detects on security footage. Afterwards, the two share a joint in the topiary garden.

Cry Baby expresses her desire for a loyal, accepting partner ("High School Sweethearts"). Leo takes credit for asking Cry Baby to the school dance. She accepts, falling in love with him. At the dance, Leo reveals the girls' plan over the loudspeaker and locks the doors, forcing the students to dance ("Recess"). Cry Baby seduces Leo and convinces him to escape with her and the girls. She then instructs the students to evacuate the school. Everyone flees except Kelly.

Leo approaches Cry Baby, confessing his feelings and that he, too, has supernatural powers. They blow a spit bubble, encapsulating the school, and leap to safety as the school floats away and explodes. Cry Baby kisses Leo. Lilith reappears from a portal-like door in the ground. Cry Baby watches her friends enter the door, hesitating when Angelita implores her to follow them.

At the end of the movie, Cry Baby (legal name revealed as Isabella Dollenganger) marries Leo Nightshade. She gives birth to their daughter, Amanita Nightshade.
