The Freak Squad is assigned to go to a remote island to gather a supply of rare nuts as snacks for the President.
Defying their orders to roll back the odometer in the President's car, the squad determines to go to Vienna to protect the Hartsdales at an awards ceremony for glaucoma research.
The Freak Squad perform at a fair with country music superstar Toby Tritt Greenwood. Despite her outspoken liberal stance, the Bearded Clam finds herself falling for the hyper-patriotic singer.
The Freak Squad is sent to New York City to scope out an apartment for the President's friend's cat. On the way, Siamese twins Tuck & Benny get into an argument over the merits of INXS and decide to separate, but bad luck follows for one of the twins.
The Freak Squad beams up to New Hampshire to take over a mission from Log Cabin Republican, who has become distracted while running a Senate campaign. When "gay dancing" emerges as a wedge issue, Log is forced to choose between his loyalty to the Republican Party and his fondness for gay dancing.
The Hartsdales choose to circumcise Primi while performing in a heavily Jewish community, but does the local rabbi have an ulterior motive?
Having used Primi's foreskin to summon Moshiach, the Jewish messiah, Pat Robertson and the President decide to fight back with their own secret weapon. When Primi exposes their plot and is captured, the Freak Squad must come to his rescue.
