Peter Derns is a schnook who allows everyone to walk all over him. His new secretary, Kris Bolin, has ten times his savvy and brains and gets him out of one jam after another and even takes measures that get Peter moving forward in the cookie company. Suddenly, people start dying mysteriously and the movie switches gears and becomes a thriller. Peter of the small brain starts pouting, complaining and constantly losing his temper. He suspects Kris is the murderer and works to expose her. Meanwhile, Kris saves Peter from being fired and they are BOTH in a car on a mounain road when the brakes go. The whole murder plot is mindboggling and comes out of nowhere. The producers forced the director to change the ending, which only further buries the film in a sea of chaos. One thing is certain; the Peter Derns character is the ultimate moron whose behavior is immature, petty and snobby from start to finish.
