Bubblegum and Bananas:
Logline: A hobo
rises to the top levels of the White House. A
chimp throws a monkey wrench into his plans.
Setting:
Washington, D.C.: Surprised by his election to
the Presidency of the United States, 54 year old
Virgil Hammerfeld needs to improve his image.
First lady, Lucia Hammerfeld, comes up with the
brilliant idea that he enlist the common man to
form a Kiddie Corps Cabinet (KCC) which would
allow him to tap the ideas of the youth of our
nation.
Soon the
wheels are turning and a motley band of
commoners are "drafted" to serve the president.
Tim Overstreet, a hobo who once had high
ambitions, is chosen to lead the recalcitrant
group. And Tim sees the opportunity as his last
chance to make something of himself.

To their dismay,
KCC's first mission is to locate a chimp who has escaped
during a circus performance on the White House lawn.
Undetected, this cute little guy makes his way to the
Oval Office where he busies himself smoking cigars and
marveling at the odd sounds emanating from the red
telephone which he has accidentally knocked over. At the
other end, Sherinov, the newly elected Soviet Premier,
is in a dither trying to understand the strange
"dialect" of the American president "... who only cheeps
at me."
In a battle of bizarre telephone encounters with the
chimp, Sherinov becomes enraged and an international
incident ensues. In the background, Sherinov overhears
the words "Operation Chimp." A quick gathering of the
Politburo and agents are sent to the United States to
uncover the secret of these suspicious "code words."
Overstreet, now up to his neck in monkey business,
ultimately resolves the issues, and rises to the
position of Chief of Staff at the White House.
Not bad for a former bum.
