What it’s about. Um einer politisch aktiven Studentin zu imponieren, schließt sich der eigentlich eher schüchterne kalifornische Produkttester Fielding Mellish einer mittelamerikanischen Guerillatruppe an, die sich gerade auf dem besten Wege befindet, den amtierenden Diktator durch einen neuen zu ersetzen. Obwohl er weder als Stratege noch als Kämpfer besondere Fertigkeiten an den Tag legt, steigt Fielding steil auf und landet nach ein paar Umwegen gar auf dem Regierungssessel. Die umgehende Verhaftung beim ersten Staatsbesuch in den USA bereitet seiner Blitzkarriere jedoch ein ebensolches Ende.
