Three modern day Marx Brothers and their director aim cannons at the hypocrisy, half-truths, hyperbole, and opportunism that pervade national politics. The actors play a kaleidoscope of political cartoon characters: two well-meaning but racist aide workers from the United Nations of America, a team of chauvinistic terrorists, a good old boy, a decadent elitist, a political veteran, and an average joe turned national terrorist trying to restore order and lead us all back to a simple time of peace and prosperity. It's a story at least as old as the republic, and just as corrupt.
