A girl who both of them are attracted to steps into the picture. Daniella. A perky college girl wedges the gap for competition between the two.

The twist in events and the strangeness that the two put into action turn into a series of misadventures of both embarrassing and hilarious mix ups progresses. Little do they know that as the end of the sem arrives, Daniella's childhood friend comes back from abroad and confesses to Daniella. A week later, Daniella introduces her new boyfriend to her two bestfriends in college. Randy and Norbert, messed up with their schemes eventually realize that through their schemes to court Daniella, have actually found their true callings.
