His lofty goals are suddenly in arm's reach when millionaire Frank Chase (Scott Baio) offers Mitch a generous sum for a gig as his personal mechanic and bodyguard to his daughter, Jessie. Not everything is quite as it seems, however, as Mitch discovers he has gotten himself embroiled in an illegal arms deal spearheaded by Chase.
