Expositional shots of an early Washington, D.C. We then see GEORGE WASHINGTON (early 20s), ABRAHAM LINCOLN (early 20s), and JOHN ADAMS (?), watch a performance in Ford’s Theater, with our arch nemesis, KING JAMES (60s) in attendance as well.
Adams, bleeding from his hairline, suddenly tears his face off and jumps at Lincoln, biting him in the jugular. Under Adams’ face it is revealed to actually be BENEDICT ARNOLD (?), a henchman of James’. He grins and runs off, leaving Lincoln to die in Washington’s arms, telling him to found a new country, America.
Washington chases after Arnold, getting his whereabouts from a theater usher, ULYSSES GRANT (teenager). He fights off redcoats in his advance with jeet kun-do moves and mini sleeve-concealed chainsaws, and catches up to Arnold in his carriage, but jogs, out of energy. They vow to oppose each other in the revolution, and Arnold drives off.
MARTHA DANDRIGE (?), who previously sung at the performance, sings at Lincoln’s funeral. When everyone leaves, Washington stands by the coffin, and is approached by Martha, who acknowledges his loss and says he shouldn’t spend the night alone. We then cut to a sex scene between them, and Martha...
