A mysterious creature invites the audience into a fantastic world. We find ourselves near elections and a promising candidate is visiting our town. His name is Richard Tator, and he is incredibly charming in spite of his unsymmetrical appearance. Standing beside him, is his beautiful wife Christine Suzanne and Rychbich, the very loyal campaign manager. Together, they present solutions that will satisfy the most urgent need of the people.
