An aspiring young architect, Willum Cubbert, has it all — a promising career, devoted friends, even, maybe, a serious girlfriend. Willium is delighted when Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI who saved his life, shows up unexpectedly at his 34th birthday party. However, his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent Rick is a hopeless young annoying “nerd” who has no intention of leaving! Rick’s prolonged presence leads to one uproarious incident after another, until Willium is forced to out-nerd the king of the nerds.
