Based on the stage musical "Dictators 4 Dummies," this is a satirical movie musical made with action figures that identifies common tactics used by authoritarian regimes. Welcome to the "Tyrants of Tomorrow Telethon"-an annual fundraiser to support aspiring autocrats. The telethon is hosted by fictional ex-dictator-turned-vegas-lounge-singer Carlo Supremo. The telethon begins with a surprise reunion with an old partner/rival and continues with a series of guest dictators and experts, each more outrageous than the last. (Joe Stalin teaches the dance moves for "The Autocratic Tactic," Muammar Gaddafi does a ventriloquism act, singing a duet with his mini-Gaddafi dummy, etc.) As the telethon continues, a female Production Assistant with dictatorial ambitions of her own is mistreated and harassed. The Production Assistant is pushed to the breaking point by come-ons from sleazy Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. Enough is enough. She starts killing the guests: first Slobodan Milosevic is crushed by a craft-services cart just after his soft-shoe routine; then others start dropping dead. Eventually, she stages a coup, overthrowing the Generals using some of their own tricks. The Production Assistant is the last person standing, and although she sheds the visible trappings of these over-the-top despots and promises to be a new-and-improved leader-a modern politician, not a dictator at all-we have our doubts.
