Depicting the original film's characters during their high school years, it stars Derek Richardson and Eric Christian Olsen in the title roles.
Meanwhile, the corrupt Principal Collins is seeking a way to get a chunk of money to buy a condo in Waikīkī, for him and his girlfriend, Ms. Heller, the school's cafeteria lady.
Harry and Lloyd are thrilled to help, unaware of the real reason, and thus find themselves signing up people they consider "special" enough for the class.
These include a reluctant Turk; Toby, who broke his leg and arm in a skateboarding accident—and whom Lloyd sees as a "little crippled boy"; Toby's gorgeous girlfriend, Terri; geeky Lewis, whom Harry and Lloyd believe is a centaur after seeing him half-dressed in his horse mascot uniform; Cindy, aka "Ching-Chong", a Chinese exchange student who later becomes Turk's girlfriend; and Carl, a badly injured football player obsessed with his sport.
A disaster involving Jessica's bathroom and a melted chocolate bar that looks like feces makes her father, Walter, freak out, inadvertently directing her attention to Lloyd.
During the parade, the superintendent of the school district has a police detective disguise himself as Richard Moffit, so Principal Collins will take the grant.
Harry and Lloyd vow never to fight and risk their friendship over a woman, but as they head home, they are approached by Fraida Felcher and her twin sister, Rita, in a red Ferrari 308 GTS,[2] who offer to take them to visit a new girls' college.
