When washed-up actor Don Knotts (played by Mark David, AKA "Specs") is rejected from the set of ''Newsies'', he decides that if he can't be in the movie, ''nobody will''. Cue a hilarious killing spree featuring fake blood, death by laxatives, DramaticIrony, and lots and lots of swearing. Needless to say, it's not suited for Disney's typical audience.
