He missing the way it used to be partying hard and being the party liasion decides whilest Glen is away to throw a large open house party which includes his two old friends Taj and Hutch.

The party gets out of the hand as does the alchohol, drugs and other stuff commencing at the Wilder Residence.

Gwen comes home to collect article clippings she left at home and discovers hundreds of people in her house and the place to be completely trashed, Van to be passed out, Hutch to be dressed in drags and Taj to be naked who then attempts a jumping stunt on a trampoline below and smashes straight through it.

When Van awakes the house is in proper order all the rubbish is bagged up in black bags and Hutch and Taj are passed out on the couch.

Gwen informs Van she is leaving for her mother's and will be staying there for awhile until she can figure things out.

She tells Van that Taj who is passed out on the couch with a blanket over him is naked under the blanket and she found him some of Van's clothes to wear.

What follows then is Van receiving a letter from his Manhattan party hard older brother Vince who is now working for the infamous Hugh M. Hefner of the Playboy Mansion and that he needs his assistance in acquiring certain hot Manhattan debutanes to be recruited as Playboy Bunnies before the large New Years Blow Out Party at the Mansion.

Van, Taj and Hutch pack up for New York, book into a classy hotel and then assemble with Vince Wilder for the recruiting and various awkward situations needed to be overcome in order for them to accomplish their goals.

A fork in the plan occurs however as the big story Gwen was working on that Van was failing to notice is the possible large drug cartel occuring within the Playboy Mansion that big man Hefner may be behind along with another lead man.
