Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Having graduated in the U.S. as a Van Wilder disciple, now self-confident Taj Mahal arrives as 'don' (teaching assistant) history at England's super-prestigious Camford. He falls victim to the haughty, aristocratic leading fraternity's president Pip's usual prank for 'commoners', landing in the derelict 'barn' with other 'social outcasts'. But Taj decides to band the rejects into a new fraternity, Cocks and Bulls, which under his leadership challenges Pip's in the annual all-round excellence championship. Written by KGF Vissers |
