When a produce magnate’s philanthropy provokes a rival cousin, he must weaponize his empire or condemn it to destruction. By bubblegum.

SYNOPSIS:

What if the food groups were headed by mobsters?

A charismatic fruit producer is determined to feed the world’s orphans even if it means upsetting a few shareholders: He knows it will promote his public image and grow his bottom line. But when he learns a competitor has been making large, anonymous donations, he angrily resolves to root out the mysterious donor and crush him.

Meanwhile, the publicity campaign's astounding success moves a bitter rival to plot his assassination. When the goons fail, a spitfire professional is hired to finish the job.

Aware he's marked, the fruit tycoon then employs a network of spies and so learns of his nemesis' secret weapons system and diabolical dental plan! Legions battle until an astonishing new arms technology is deployed by the Dairy Council and the vegetables get creamed.

As the melee climaxes, arch-nemeses exchange blows in an underground lair—just when the assassin comes in for the kill. After a sudden reversal, one is sentenced to humiliating public service while the other emerges more popular than ever.

The assassin is coerced to bodyguard a pivotal counterspy, and there blooms an unlikely romance as the anonymous donor is revealed.
