Synopsis:
A high school teacher builds an atom bomb in his house. He manages to steal plutonium and builds two warheads, which he uses for blackmail. He blackmails the television station because he wants the baseball games to be uninterrupted by commercials and the Rolling Stones because he wants them to have a concert in Tokyo. The police come after him but complications ensue when it turns out that he has been irradiated by plutonium.
