Ike (Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in My...!) makes a return trip to the past to "help" his friend Ben (Franklin), now in trouble with an angry mob and on his way to France to try his hand at diplomacy for the Revolutionary War cause. It's all rather contrived, and the humor can be grating, but there are some entertaining and even educational moments.
