To revive the Hoff's stagnant career Max announces that he has died, which immediately boosts his book and album sales whilst he hides out in Terry's uncle's house in Watford. Ex-wife Crystal arrives from the States, and the Hoff is delighted to hear her say she still loves him, leading to an unwise meeting from which he is extricated by Harriet before the hoax is rumbled.
Max books the Hoff to sing at super-fan Patricia Reardon's wedding in Yorkshire - a foreign country to the Hoff and his entourage and the North-South divide is not helped by a snide barman and Patricia's jealous, short-tempered groom Greg. Hostilities are increased when bridesmaid Annabelle accuses Greg of killing her dog and when, next morning, the Hoff is nowhere to be found, his friends fear for his safety - though only with partial cause as it turns out.
The Hoff is keen to star in his self-penned play about Lawrence of Arabia and eccentric billionaire Bunny Vasilis agrees to finance it. However he demands numerous crowd-pleasing additions such as a sex scene, car chase, explosions and songs. Whilst Bunny introduces them to a jet set life style the team are happy to go along with these but when the Hoff rebels and threatens to return to the States they pull together to prevent him from leaving.
Despite the anxieties of his team the Hoff agrees to appear in a horror film with maverick director Anton De Vries but soon begins to appreciate their misgivings when they arrive in the middle of a forest in Romania with a less than confident crew and a maddeningly annoying director whose constant demands for retakes endangers the star's life. Amazingly the film proves to be a huge hit at festivals, thus marking the Hoff's first major European triumph.
