Histoire :

Les caisses de la Freedonie sont à leur niveau le plus bas. Une fois de plus le Conseil des ministres fait appel à la richissisme Mme Teasdale qui accepte à une condition : que le gouvernement se dote d'un nouveau chef, Rufus T. Firefly. En Sylvanie, pays voisin qui convoite la Freedonie, la nouvelle est accueillie avec mauvaise humeur. Trentino, ambassadeur en Freedonie, courtise Mme Teasdale mais celle-ci est entichée de Firefly. Trentino engage deux espions, Pinky qui est le chauffeur de Firefly et Chicolini, et leur assigne pour mission de discréditer son rival.
