Hannah is a street-wise American woman with a passion for Lord Byron's poetry who is prepared to do anything it takes to get into a course at Oxford, and she means anything. Also eager to study Byron is Caroline, the quiet-natured girlfriend of narcissistic mega-star comedian Steve "Zoo Zoo Zoo Off Come My Pants" Wild. When he disapproves of her aspirations, Caroline must go behind her boyfriend's back to take the course, unaware that she's not the only one doing the deceiving.
Quotes:
Steve: I went to Russia for assessment and, because of my natural comic timing, I was sent to the KGB comendy training camp in Minsk. When I returned to the west I realized, like so many other Soviet trained comics, that if my cover as a comedian was to hold, not only did I have to be hilariously funny but a paranoid manic depressive as well!
Caroline: My God! Just like Tony Hancock, and Peter Sellers, and John Cleese!
Professor: KGB are very thorough Caroline. What did they use Steven? Ego inflating drugs? Adulation treatment?
