Our boy Tom is soon to be wed, and the boisterous male friends he is about to leave behind insist on a bitching bachelor party in his honor. The hero reluctantly agrees, and the bride`s rich former fiance, whom Dad always preferred, learns of the proposed party and seeks to undermine his modest successor. The battle lines are clearly drawn.

Meanwhile the indulgent bride-to-be discovers and sabotages the stag films meant for her boy`s party. This only makes a few reckless buds seek even more wild entertainment for Tom`s big party. The gals decide to go out and have a few last minute hijinx of their own, but the guys achieve revenge by interfering in return.

Tit for tat aside, they all end up in the rented hotel suite, where all sorts of debauchery takes place and the only guy who doesn`t enjoy himself is..Tom! He truly loves Tawny, and has done nothing all night to violate her trust! Despite their efforts, the snobby father and former fiance fail to break up this marriage made in Heaven.

Trivia: In an early scene, in Tawny`s boutique, YMP swears he saw a very young Lea Thompson for one second stuffing a sweater into her large handbag-hey, her humongous forehead was hard to miss back then!
