[edit] Plot
Police assistant Boyle is a childish detective who is lumbered with police cases not worth the paper they're printed on. However, after several murders in a nearby wood that concern Killer Tomatoes, Boyle finds himself working alongside Kennedy Johnson, a Tomatologist, to solve the murders.
Nearby, Prof. Gangreen has begun using subliminal mind control on his chat show, disguised as talk show host Geronihew. After kidnapping members of the Press and Media, Gangreen plots to use his brainwashed Press members, as well as the Subliminal Mind control, to overpower the human race and make the world a planet run by himself and his killer tomatoes.
Following countless Killer Tomato attacks, Boyle and Kennedy finally reach Gangreen's hideout, where they must pit themselves against Killer Tomatoes, brainwashed newsreaders and a giant Bacon, Lettuce and Human sandwich, of which Kennedy may be a part of. With help from FT, (Fuzzy Tomato, from Return of the Killer Tomatoes) Boyle rescues Kennedy and Gangreen is defeated, left at the mercy of the hungry Killer Tomatoes.
