Synopsis
The bungling President of the U.S. is facing an approval rating plummeting almost as fast as the economy. Desperate, he approves a ludicrous plan to create a new "evil empire"... Canada? The plan appears foolproof--that is, until one particular fool proves otherwise. Overzealous patriot Bud Boomer, the Sheriff of Niagara Falls, decides to take matters into his own hands and leads a rag-tag group of deputies on a daring and thoroughly misguided raid across the border. Suddenly the "honeymoon capital of the world" is on the front lines of the coldest war America has ever fought.
