Synopsis

Bob and Margaret, with some trepidation, deliver their dogs, William and Elizabeth, to the kennels. With Bob and Margaret home packing, we cut back to the kennels, which have taken on the aura of Bates Motel run by a short, fat drill sergeant under the thumb of his mysteriously unseen mother. Bob and Margaret over-sleep and arrive late at the airport. Bob is a nervous flier so he takes a sleeping pill. Suddenly, passengers disguised as a nun, a rabbi and a Buddhist monk reveal themselves as armed terrorists, hi jacking the plane to Cuba. They commit a fair bit of carnage, while trying to demand a ransom from the President of the United States. They have trouble getting past a phone operator at the White House so the terrorists start throwing people out of the plane. Bob awakes, and we realize that the preceding was his drug-induced nightmare.

While Bob and Margaret enjoy themselves on the beach, we cut back to the kennels, where things are not as they had first appeared....
