Storyline
Don Anderson is the Mickey’s hamburger chain marketing director who helped develop the Big One, its most popular menu item. When he learns that independent research has discovered a considerable presence of fecal matter in the meat, he travels to the fictitious town of Cody, Colorado to determine if the local Uni-Globe meatpacking processing plant, Mickey’s main meat supplier, is guilty of sloppy production.
