At the height of the Cold War, American dominance hinges on establishing a new satellite monitoring base in the remote nation of "Parmistan." To do so, one man must win "The Game" - a yearly competition held by the King of Parmistan, combining elements of acrobatics, mountaineering, fighting, and MURDER. Naturally, there is only one man for the job. Enter Jonathan Cabot, Olympic gymnast and fuzzy sweater enthusiast. Will his skills with the pommel horse be enough to end the cold war? Will his planche push-ups be enough to avenge the death of his father? And will his rings routine save the Princess Rubali?
