The world of show business is in effervescence but some, such as the League of Virtue, are opposed to the tragedian's coming, because of her sulphurous reputation. President Rutherford B.

But Rubanis is the most corrupt planet in the entire galaxy. How are they to find out who really holds the reins of power there?
