John O’Driscoll is madly in love with Karen Black but is so mesmerised by her beauty that in her presence his brain refuses to function. He walks in fear of school governor Father Kennedy, a man with nasal hair so terrifying it gives grown men nightmares and sends small animals scurrying for cover.

And all O’Driscoll’s efforts to impress Karen seem to end in disaster and public humiliation at the hands of the cantankerous cleric.

Will O’Driscoll stay out of the pub long enough to win Karen over? Will he stay out of Father Kennedy’s reach for long enough to have his teaching contract renewed?

Follow the adventures of our bumbling hero over a month of Sundays as he embarks on a shambolic quest to save his job and win the heart of the woman he loves.
