A high-octane, deliberately absurd action-comedy that treats graphic violence and impossible gunplay as pure spectacle in service of protecting an innocent baby.

A man named Mr. Smith delivers a woman's baby during a shootout, and is then called upon to protect the newborn from the army of gunmen.
