Dingleberry - and the "D" stands for "Delightful."Derwood is a mysterious, self-made billionaire. He doesn't live life, as much as he crashes into it. Derwood buys and sells companies like an elephant goes through peanuts. Along the way, he's not averse to buying and selling people's souls as well. Or - is he?By chance, Derwood notices that Ted Turner has given one billion dollars to the United Nations. Enraged - D.D.D. decides to give away two billion dollars! In cash!To do this he needs the assistance of his right-hand flunky, named Flunky, his secretary, Judy Number 126, and of the beautiful Gabriella O'Reilly, his publicist. Off they go, on a quest to first identify the beneficiary of the loot, and then to put the plan into action.On a journey that takes them to a lighthouse in Newport Harbor, the inner sanctum of the Vatican and the throne room of Bosbo-Yugo-Vania, Derwood and gang smash, bash, and more or less level everything in their paths - including each other.And then they make the great discovery.
