Synopsis: Disorganized Crime: An Election Year Farce

After Senator Thomas O. Madison, noted public moral scold, is forced to resign in disgrace on account of a sex scandal, Jeff Parker, a sad case, reduced to financial desperation by his wife's heart-attack, is smooth-talked by his brother-in-law into running for the empty Senate seat. "You can't lose," assures his brother in law. "It's a great salary and health benefits for life, and nobody will expect a Freshman Senator to actually accomplish anything with Congressional approval ratings in the low teens...."

His opponent Clarice Smythe-Burkestead, not at all a sad case, wants a career in politics almost badly enough to kill for it. No matter how hard Jeff tries to lose, he appears to endear himself to his would-be constituents to the fury of his frustrated opponent who cannot get any electoral traction because of him.
