Stark, the most secret society on earth could buy up the Earth a thousand times and still make a takeover bid on God. So why is it desperate to buy a large slab of Aboriginal land in the Australian outback? C.D. doesn't care about the world, but he does care about getting laid, especially by Rachel, a beautiful rebel looking for a cause. Together with Zimmerman and Walter, two Vietnam vets, dippy hippy Karen, and Chrissie, a New York journalist, they take on Stark to try and save the work from a toxic conspiracy. (3 x 53min)
