“Plastic Money... Phony Credit... Enough is Enough! This American Family Has Had It!”
Meet Richard Jackson - a man fed up with the insanity of "plastic" suburban living. Rallying his befuddled family around him, Richard mounts an outrageously comic assault on credit card craziness, "Yuppie" status symbols and "the system" in general!
