Overview

Wilbur Steele, a laid-back college protester desperate to avoid the military draft, finds himself caught in a far more peculiar predicament. Lured by a mysterious organization known as The Baby Factory, Wilbur unwittingly signs up for an experiment in mass reproduction. Tasked with fathering 2,000 children over two years to help create a 'genetically perfect' population, he is subjected to physical and chemical conditioning under the watchful eye of Dr. Wednesday. As Wilbur grapples with the sheer absurdity and pressure of his new 'job,' his initial disbelief quickly sours into resentment. This offbeat comedy explores themes of control, protest, and sexual politics with a satirical edge.
