The whole fine mess begins when a trio of adolescent boys sneak off to their secret hideout to avoid their parents' wrath and find the big bomb just sitting there. Hearing opportunity's knock, they call the President and threaten to detonate the weapon if he does not immediately cancel school. Not only do they soon find themselves fleeing the FBI but also an idiotic pair of villains who want the A-bomb for themselves. The pranksters soon find themselves in the unlikely situation of world saviors.
