Its main plot is about Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne twenty years after the events that happened in the 1994 film "Dumb and Dumber." It shows Lloyd who has been committed at a mental institution and Harry visiting him there. But, Lloyd later reveals that he is just there as a prank.
Lloyd left the institution after the shocking revelation. Meanwhile, Harry divulged that he has a bad kidney and needs a donor who is related to him. But, his parents cannot help him because he was adopted. He found out that he has a daughter named Fanny/Penny. Harry and Lloyd decide to look for her.
