A campy, absurdist 1980s adventure comedy that uses a world-threatening financial crisis as a cartoonish backdrop for broad, playful mayhem and multiple-role hijinks.

Evil baddie Dr. Otto Von-Schnick-ick-ick tries to take over the planet by first destroying all of our financial systems, collapsing the world's economy and sending populations across the globe into mass panic! Only one goody-goody can stop him.. or can he? The oblivious Lance Sterling is on the case!
