Another Way: Beyond the Status Quo

Anti-corporate crusader Dobie Pokorny - a nobody - wants to save the world from powerful corporate titans like Colonel Charonne. The latter and his henchman Major Watson are determined to stop him. On his "speaking truth to power" tour, Dobie meets and falls in love with beautiful country girl Kaylie while enduring attacks at every turn. By all appearances she is out of his league and, though her affection seems sincere, he can't shake the thought, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Will the charming yet ruthless Major Watson steal her away? Can they outrun and outwit Charonne and his minions? And, what's up with that little blue alien, Semmy?
