Tim Robbins har både skrevet og instrueret denne film, hvori han også selv spiller titelrollen som den fascistiske senatorkandidat, der med hjælp fra sine musikalske talenter har lagt sig stærkt i spidsen foran sine modkandidater! Han har tilsyneladende alle de meninger, som vælgerne ønsker sig af deres nye senator, og de glemmer tydeligvis at stille spørgsmålstegn ved, om han nu også er, hvad han giver sig ud for at være! Han kaster sig over de stofproblemer, som enhver storby den dag i dag må slås med, og netop fordi narko er noget, alle kan vende sig imod, er der ingen, der tænker over, hvad denne herre ellers vil bruge sin indflydelse på. Da det kommer for dagens lys, at Roberts selv har været involveret i smugling og handel med stoffer, ser det hele pludselig ikke længere så lyst ud!
