A crack group of master plumbers have been summonsed to Manchester, England, to hear a report of a potential reality dysfunction from Bill 3rd, the Grand master plumber...

Take on the role of the Champloo characters Mugen, Jin or one of many other larger then life badasses available and ready to be thrown into this sizzling course of over-the-top samurai madness.

Add one part Feudal Japan, two parts Hip Hop and an equal three parts of smack-talking and furious action and you'll hopefully have something that approximates The Remixed Second Helping of Super Stir-Fry Samurai!
