Grand Fenwick, a tiny landlocked country in Europe whose only source of income is their wine, is going bankrupt because a vintner in California is producing a cheap wine under a similar name. The solution to this problem? It’s obvious. Declare war on the United States. After all, losing to the U.S. is profitable – look at Germany and Japan after WW2. But - what happens when the long-bow men sent to NYC capture the general and the deadly Q-bomb actually WIN? Laughs ensue…
