In a world where everyone is colour-blind...
In a time when laughter is forbidden...
In a costume that fits a little too poorly...
One man is on a mission to save himself from the gallows before time, and the rope, runs out.
On trial for his life, Bonzo the Accountant (Jeff Goldblum) stands accused of making colourful fun of the head of the Church of Lyingtology, a crime punishable by DEATH! BY HANGING!!
In a series of tense courtroom battles, the Church's founder, and chief Lying Officer, Dr Rex McPkAnk (Tom Cruise) hits Bonzo with one damning pie after another, but Bonzo refuses to laugh. Despite the best efforts of Bonzo's team of defence chimpanzees (all played by Helena Bonham-Carter), Bonzo eventually crumples on the witness stand.
The jury is forced to consider just how large Bonzo's shoes are, just how aggravated bulls are by his allegedly bright red make-up, and just how many billiard balls can fit into his mouth at once. Finally, with the startling proclamation: "YOU CAN'T HANDLE DULUTH!", McPkAnk makes Bonzo confess to being red, funny and a little bit creepy, all at the same time.
The jury themselves are so incensed, they drag Bonzo out into the street, string him up from the nearest unoccupied gallows, and leave him twisting in the wind, a warning to all who would be funny, or red, or Jeff Goldblum.
Coming soon: The Night After Alaska.
