A small farm town in Kentucky bands together to prevent the evil mayor and his capitalist cronies from taking over and turning their town into a shopping mall. It all comes down to a bet – can the local village idiot, Dingus, beat an Olympic wrestling champion – Alekski “The Bear From Belarus” Cavalenko from Mother Russia in a wrestling match for the ages! This is one helluva match-up.
