Logline:
A gambling talk show host bets his national audience a million dollars that his last minute and unknown semi-pro golf candidate will win the US presidency by challenging all candidates to a lie detector test of truth.

Synopsis:
Sonny Hoag, a well connected and unscrupulous Congressman, employs Ginger Holiday to obtain vital political information for him, but lust overwhelms him during payment of rendered services. Ginger, disgusted, ties the nude and drunken Congressman to the bed and masks him hoping to avoid contact, and leaves to secretly turns on a video camera. Her parrot sprinkles bird seed over his moist fat body, and Ginger returns to her parrot enjoying a congressional smorgasbord, caught on video.

Years later, Jeff Taylor, making his last attempt to play the US Open, notices a sexy and Corona filled Ginger at the golf course. Just as he’s striking the ball to ultimately win the tournament, her high-heel shoe seeps into the soft turf and falls, causing Jeff to miss the putt and lose. While consoling Jeff in the bar, Ginger jumps on Jeff when the TV announces Sonny Hoag’s bid for the presidency. To divert his rising concern, Jeff lashes out that all candidates should be connected to a lie detector test prior to running for office.

Longshot, a gambling talk show host with a large national audience, overhears his profound comment, and bets Jeff a million dollars that he’ll make him a millionaire by entering him in the presidential race.

In addition, Longshot patriotically bets his radio audience a million dollars that he’ll place an unknown and inexperienced candidate in the White House, as only his candidate can pass a pre-election lie detector test. The news media forces this unique challenge to all candidates, thrusting Jeff and Ginger into the election limelight.

This challenge ignites Sonny Hoag to hire a devious problem solver to derail Jeff’s campaign. This turns into a political match play event, with both parties using blackmail, skeletons, porn and mild bestiality as their weapons of choice. Who will end up riding the golf cart down Pennsylvania Avenue?
