Deux élèves en CM1 à l'école Jerome Horwitz (ou Albert Martin en français) de Piqua (Ohio), Georges Glousse (le scénariste) et Harold Golade (le dessinateur) créent des bandes dessinées dans leur cabane et multiplient les blagues à l'école. Mais un jour, après les avoir pris sur le fait grâce à une caméra de surveillance cachée dans une tortue-jouet, M. Chonchon, leur proviseur hargneux, décide de les séparer en les plaçant dans deux classes différentes. Pour échapper à cette séparation, ils hypnotisent, grâce à une hypno-bague trouvée dans un paquet de céréales, M. Chonchon, et lui font croire successivement qu'il est un poulet, un singe puis le Capitaine Superslip, un superhéros de leur création. Quand il entend un claquement de doigts, M. Chonchon enlève ses vêtements et sa moumoute.

Reggie the turkey has always been afraid of Thanksgiving because turkeys have always been on the menu, but his attempts to warn his farm-based flock constantly fall on deaf ears and has made him an outcast. When the other turkeys finally realize what is going on, they throw Reggie outside in an attempt to save themselves. In a surprise twist of fate, he winds up being named the "pardoned turkey" by the President of the United States and is subsequently taken to Camp David. Although initially hesitant, Reggie soon eases into a routine of doing nothing but enjoying pizza delivered to him by the "Pizza Dude" and watching Mexican telenovelas.

The film is set in the year 1976, five years after the original film East is East. Little is known about most of the Khan children, except that they seldom communicate with their parents. Tariq is now a hippie (looking like George Harrison) who runs a new age shop with older brother Nazir and has an English girlfriend who is unaware of his true ethnicity, and Maneer is living with his extended family in Pakistan where he is searching for a suitable wife. Sajid, the youngest who no longer wears a parka, is a truant who is constantly bullied due to his Pakistani background, although the headmaster - a former British soldier who had served in the Punjab - is sympathetic and encourages him to embrace his heritage. After Sajid is caught shoplifting, his father George, who has somewhat retained his bullying nature, attacks him at home. When Sajid retaliates by calling him a "dirty Paki bastard," a devastated George states all of his other children in England have become British and he cannot lose Sajid as well, so he decides to take him to Pakistan to meet his extended family and show him that life there is better, though Ella openly disapproves.
