国際的な犯罪グループが盗んだマイクロチップが移送中に空港で間違えられ、シカゴの高級住宅街に住む老婦人の手に渡る。それを知った彼らはチップを取り返すべく、さっそく住宅街の捜索を開始する。日中はほぼ無人と化す住宅街だったが、そんな彼らの行動を、病気で学校を休んでいたアレックス少年が発見。警察に通報したがまったく相手にされず、アレックスは自分独りで悪者たちに立ち向かう決心をする。

Billionaire heir Richie Rich has it all, including Reggie Jackson as a batting coach and Claudia Schiffer as a personal trainer -- but no playmates. What's more, scoundrel Laurence Van Dough is scheming to take over the family empire. Uh-oh! Enter faithful butler Cadbury to save the day.

Emerald Cities, completing the trilogy, is a story about a young woman who runs off from her Death Valley home to seek her fortune. Her drunken dad still stuck in his Santa suit from the local Christmas pagent, follows and soon comes in contact with the "new dark ages" of 1984. Juxtapositions of "on-the street" interviews (by Willie Boy Walker), punk performances by bands Flipper and The Mutants, TV shows of past-life hypnotism and nuclear destruction, and a crazed ex-con all finally intermix with the characters' own sagas.
