In the out of the ordinary burg of Valkenvania, a monstrous small-village assess (Dan Aykroyd) hangs passersby championing speeding and conducts his court from a mansion situated on a toxic drop site. When his bungling deputy (John Candy) brings in a couple of Advanced York yuppies (Chevy Chase and Demi Moore), his twisted joy is repulsive to behold. The hapless duo try to flee — one to run into several life-threatening pitfalls and traps in the development. Aykroyd plays specific parts.
