Plot Summary:

A mock documentary in the same vein as Waiting For Guffman and Best In Show, this comic film follows director Royce Cannon as he tries to prove the innocence of Chauncey Ledbetter, a flamboyant death row inmate who was convicted in the murder of his high school swing choir teacher in 1983. Never released commercially in the United States, this film is crammed with cameo appearances from the likes of Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Jason Priestley, Janeane Garofalo, Mike Myers and many more, all in small, amateurishly-filmed, "interview" cameos attesting either to the innocence or guilt of Chauncey. Tuc and Vincent Ventresca play Ted and Bob, two "roommates" who come to the defense of Chauncey in their interview, then inadvertently out themselves and spend the rest of their time trying to backpedal from that revelation.
