The story

Unemployed brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie screen a poorly made film they have produced.

Smith tests this spiked beer on patients of the neighbouring Royal Canadian Institute for the Mentally Insane, which is connected to the brewery by tunnels.

Unable to stop, the brothers careen into Lake Ontario.
