description: A burnt-out political aide quits just before an election  but is forced to run a hopeless campaign on the way out. He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot Angus McLintock  an engineering professor who will do anything anything to avoid teaching English to engineers  to let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign certain to lose - or is he?
