For Michael Moon and his house-mates, life is dull and repetitious... Until they meet the new tenant: A 300 lb man who carries a 12 inch pistol and calls himself, "Innocent Smith." Suddenly, their world is turned upside down as the stranger encourages them to secede and form their own country. They become wild with freedom and invention, rediscovering the joy of their childhood. But then a detective shows up and informs them that Smith is a dangerous criminal who abandoned his wife and embarked on a worldwide crime spree of robbery and murder. Never-the-less, Michael Moon and his house-mates refuse to extradite the criminal from their newly formed country and demand that the trial of Innocent Smith be held in their own living room. The question on everyone's mind: Is Smith really innocent?
