All things come to those who wait, and now, the Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity has become the most popular house on Adams College. Many years have passed since the panty-raid in
Revenge of the Nerds (1984), and the all-out attack in
Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987), and the new Tri-Lambs will have to confront a sleazy former Alpha Beta jock and a relentless arch-nemesis from the past. Now, as the fraternity's newest additions, freshmen Harold and Ira, find themselves with their backs to the wall, it's up to the legendary nerd, Lewis Skolnick, and the rest of the boys, to save the day, before the now-nerd-friendly campus becomes, once more, the jocks' paradise. Is Adams College prepared for the new generation of nerds?
