“Danny De Vito is a professional clown, whose wife’s death in a car accident has left him to care for his two young boys. Loving, but useless at the daily job of fathering, the onus falls on plucky Jack the Bear (Robert J. Steinmiller Jr.). De Vito’s conscience, and a quantity of alcohol leads him to denounce a neo-fascist candidate on his children’s TV programme – and also to the kidnapping of youngest son Dylan (Miko Hughes) by a disturbed neo-nazi supporter.
