Dale wonders why no one ever visits Chilly Beach, and realizes that it's due to the cold climate. Thus, Frank invents a super heater to warm Chilly Beach up. When the U.S. learns about it, they steal it and accidentally use it to destroy the planet. Frank and Dale must travel back through time to undo the damage.

Dale MacDonald - a not particularly bright ice technician from the northern resort village of Chilly Beach - is chosen to become the puppet president of the United States thanks to the machinations of the shadowy Hangelberg Group and its money-obsessed chairman, known only as The Baron. But when he discovers that The Baron's overarching goal is to hostilely take over his native Canada, doofus Dale must devise a plan to stop them. He enlists the help of his genius friend Frank and a handful of local yokels to sabotage the Hangelbergs' plan to insert satellite-controlled microchips into every Canadian, literally turning them into mindless 'shopaholics'.
