Adapted from The Taming of the Shrew, Bianca finds herself on a “Bachelorette” type reality show. Just as she is about to choose a husband, her father introduces the twist that before the bachelors can marry her, they must find a husband for her sister, Kate. Kate, however, is a tough-talking hip hop star and quickly eviscerates the two bachelors as well as the host and leaves everybody in despair about ever finding a suitable mate. It’s not until Woodchuck Man, a backwoods rebel famed for capturing and taming wild critters that there is finally a possible match for Kate.
