PROBLEM: Fact1: Nazi secret agent is spreading anti-American pro-Japanese propaganda among native Filipinos, Fact2: spy had posed as religious pacifist, Fact3: Bailey had earlier trained to retirement from Corps, Fact4: Marine forces blow up vital bridge halting Japanese ground advance, Fact5: daughter now accepts medal as entire base 's assembled corps passes in review

SOLUTION: Having being stationed in the Philippines as a member of the United States Marine Corps, NCO Sgt. Maj. William Bailey Beery is retired after having served there for 30 years. This happens several months prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and their laying siege to large areas of the South Pacific. When the Japanese invade the Philippines, Bailey confronts and strangles a Nazi secret agent, who is now spreading antiAmerican, proJapanese propaganda among the native Filipinos. The spy had posed as a religious pacifist up until a devastating Japanese air bombing attack caused many casualties among the unarmed civilians that Bailey, his wife, and daughter Maxwell had been living among. Bailey then takes command of the local Filipino militia that he had earlier trained just prior to his retirement from the Corps. They fight a series of delaying actions against a Japanese ground invasion force, slowing their attack, while waiting for the U.S. Marine island forces to arrive and counterattack. Later, after much fighting, while wearing his one time dress blues uniform jacket, Bailey takes out an enemy machine gun emplacement while Marine forces blow up a vital bridge, halting the Japanese ground advance. Sgt. Major Bailey is suddenly killed by an aerial bombing attack shortly after his heroic delaying actions have succeeded. The Japanese eventually go on to capture the Philippines. Sometime later, at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, CA, Sgt. Major Bailey is posthumously awarded, by his former commander in the Philippines, the corps highest medal for valor. His daughter, now a Marine sergeant, gratefully accepts the medal for her late father, as the entire bases assembled corps passes in review.

PROBLEM: Fact1: Bishop Upon meets with friend and mentor Harry McKenna returning home to Louisiana, Fact2: Dean tells him about failed mission in South Africa, Fact3: himself and Harry knew details of mission, Fact4: Steve convinces Bishop to train him as mechanic, Fact5: Harry instructs Steve to take dog with him to coffee shop at same time

SOLUTION: Arthur Bishop, working as a mechanic mafia slang for hitman, sneaks into the lavish home of a Colombian drug cartel leader and drowns him in his own pool. Upon returning home to Louisiana, he meets with friend and mentor Harry McKenna, who pays Bishop for his work. Bishop is given a new assignment: kill Harry. Bishops employer confirms by phone that the contract is correct, whereupon he requests a facetoface meeting. Dean tells him about a failed mission in South Africa, in which agency assassins were killed. Dean says that only himself and Harry knew the details of the mission, and that Harry had been paid for the contract details. Reluctantly, Bishop kills Harry with the latters own gun and makes it look like a carjacking. At his funeral, Bishop meets Harrys reckless son Steve. Bishop stops Steve from trying to kill a wouldbe carjacker in a misguided attempt at cathartic vengeance. Steve convinces Bishop to train him as a mechanic. Adopting a chihuahua, he instructs Steve to take the dog with him to a coffee shop each day at the same time. As Steve settles into a routine, Bishop escalates training, taking him to observe a contract killing. The target is a mechanic for another agency named Burke, who frequents the same coffee shop. Burkes only weaknesses are that he is interested in young men and small dogs. Burke makes his move on Steve and invites him out for drinks. Bishop instructs Steve to slip a large dose of Rohypnol into Burkes drink to cause an overdose. Steve ignores the instructions and goes with Burke to his apartment. When Burke begins to undress, Steve attempts to strangle him with a belt as he had seen Bishop do on a former assignment. Burke fights back, using his size advantage and experience, but Steve manages to kill Burke after much effort and a lengthy fight. Dean expresses his disapproval of Bishop involving Steve, and that violated the rules of the contract arrangement, but Bishop says that Harry and his arrangement was for price only, and Harry left the details up to Bishop. Bishops next contract is to kill cult leader Andrew Vaughn. They plan to inject their victim with adrenaline to simulate a heart attack, for which the paramedics would administer a fatal dose of epinephrine. While Bishop and Steve are preparing for the hit, Vaughns doctor arrives, and he sets Vaughn up with an IV of ketamine, which will inhibit the adrenalines effects. The hit men decide to suffocate him instead, but are discovered after killing Vaughn and are forced into a shootout with the guards; they slip away and fly home separately. At the airport, Bishop sees a supposed victim of the mission that Harry allegedly sold out. He confronts the other mechanic, who tells Bishop that he was paid by Dean to kill the other mechanics in South Africa and fake his death so that Dean could engineer the failed mission to cover up his own shady dealings; he also reveals that Dean framed Harry and that he tricked Bishop into killing his friend. The mechanic then attempts to kill Bishop and after a struggle between the two professionals, Bishop ends up killing him. Bishop is later ambushed by a hit squad: after killing them, he discovers that Dean was behind the hit. Bishop goes home to call Steve, only to find that Steve has been ambushed. Bishop directs Steve to a hidden gun, which Steve uses to kill his attackers. Steve gathers supplies for their new mission while Bishop plots how to get to Dean. In the process, Steve finds his fathers gun and realizes that Bishop killed Harry. Bishop and Steve kill Dean in an ambush: on the way back, Bishop notices Steve carrying Harrys gun. When they stop for gas, Steve floods the ground with fuel while pretending to fill the tank. He walks a safe distance and shoots the gas, blowing up the truck with Bishop still inside. Steve returns to the house and performs two actions that Bishop told him not to do: playing a record on the turntable, and taking the 1966 Jaguar EType. As he is driving away, Steve finds a note on the passenger seat: Steve, if youre reading this, then youre dead!, which he laughs off as a joke before the car explodes, killing him. Bishops house is destroyed by a chain reaction of explosions. Back at the gas station, a security video reveals that Bishop had escaped from the truck, seconds before the explosion. Bishop gets into a spare truck and drives away.

PROBLEM: Fact1: story is biographical and fantastical at same time, Fact2: brothers are working to finish history for Duke, Fact3: Wilhelm spends money to hear them from locals, Fact4: tale is told by old woman in forest, Fact5: culmination of tale features most involved usage of film 's special effects

SOLUTION:
The story focuses on the Grimm brothers, Wilhelm Laurence Harvey and Jacob Karlheinz Bohm, and is biographical and fantastical at the same time. They are working to finish a history for a local Duke Oscar Homolka, though Wilhelm is more interested in collecting fairy tales and often spends their money to hear them from locals. Tales such as The Dancing Princess and The Cobbler and the Elves are integrated into the main plot. One of the tales is told as an experiment to three children in a book store to see if publishing a collection of fairytales has any merit. Another tale, The Singing Bone, is told by an old woman Martita Hunt in the forest who tells stories to children, while the uninvited Wilhelm secretly listens through an open window. The culmination of this tale involves a jeweled dragon and features the most involved usage of the films special effects. Wilhelm loses the manuscript of the Dukes family history while writing down this third story he is supposed to be collecting additional information for the family history and the brothers cannot meet their deadline. They are required to pay their rent, which was waived while they worked. As a result of wading through a stream in an effort to retrieve the manuscript which fell into the water after his briefcase broke open, Wilhelm becomes critically ill with potentially fatal pneumonia. He dreams that at night various fairytale characters come to him, begging him to name them before he dies. In the dream, Russ Tamblyn reprises his role as Tom Thumb from the 1958 film. Wilhelms fever breaks, and he recovers completely, continuing his own work while his brother publishes regular books, including a history of German grammar and a book on law. Jacob, shaken by his brothers experience, begins to collaborate on the fairy tales with Wilhelm. They are ultimately invited to receive honorary membership at the Berlin Royal Academy, which makes no mention of the tales in their invitation. Jacob prepares to make a speech deliberately insulting the Academy for snubbing Wilhelm. As their train pulls into the station, hordes of children arrive, chanting, We want a story! Wilhelm begins, Once upon a time, there were two brothers. The children cheer, and the film ends with a caption card that reads ...and they lived happily ever after.
