Deal of the Century plot
"Chevy Chase and his partners are arms dealers. They sell second-rate weapons to third world nations. But they're not out to stick it to anyone."
Luckup Industries has built a new fighter jet. The 'Peacemaker' is even faster and more deadly than all existing types. The world's dictators, military juntas and guerrilla leaders are the main potential customers. In San Miguel, Harold DeVoto waits for a call from the local dictator regarding a sale worth several trillions of dollars. In the same hotel, Eddie Muntz tries to sell his weapons to three guerrilla leaders. And since nothing beats a good demonstration, Muntz shoots to shreds a military jeep. During the delivery of the weapons, the guerrilla camp is fired upon and Muntz loses all his money.
