Synopsis:
"Disgruntled" is a comedy about 3 guys, CORKY, GREG and DAVE, who
all work at a computer helpline office and hate their jobs almost as much as
they hate their boss, MR. RUMPBANGHER. Corky in particular, is at his wits
end with Mr. Rumpbangher's antics and only Dave and Greg can keep him sane.
Corky has survived several years of verbal abuse and has been passed over
numerous times for promotions. These promotions have been given to people who
don't have the experience or the knowledge that Corky has, but they do know
how to kiss the ass of Mr. Rumpbangher and that s good enough for a
promotion.
Corky has had enough of Rumpbangher's shenanigans and finally
snaps. He decides that the best way to improve his career prospects and his
overall outlook on life is by getting rid of Mr. Rumpbangher, permanently.
Corky spearheads a plan to kill his highly motivated and annoyingly
team-oriented boss by enlisting the help of an inept ex-colleague named
CHARLIE, whose stories of fighting in Vietnam are actually nothing more than
drug-induced delusions.
Charlie tries several times to dispose of Mr. Rumpbangher,
once by an attempted shooting, once by tampering with a cars brake lines and
once by food poisoning. All these attempts of course fail. Corky gets more
and more agitated after each failed attempt and gives Charlie one last chance
to do the job right before he kills Mr. Rumpbangher himself. After giving this
ultimatum to Charlie, Corky gets called into Mr. Rumpbangher office. Mr.
Rumpbangher tells Corky that even though they have had their difference, the
best thing to do for the company is to give Corky the promotion. Mr.
Rumpbangher continues to tell Corky that he will be transferred to another
office and says that he will fill out and process the paperwork the following
day.
Hours later Corky is home sleeping and has a dream that he
did not get the promotion because Mr. Rumpbangher is dead and did not fill
out the paperwork. Corky wakes up in a panic and realizes that Charlie is
still work on a plan to kill Mr. Rumpbangher. So he calls Charlie to tell him
to stop whatever he had planned, but it is too late. Charlie has rigged Mr.
Rumpbangher's computer with a poisonous gas bomb. Corky asks Charlie to go
and disarm the bomb but Charlie is too stoned to even walk. Corky then
gathers his pals Dave and Greg to help him disarm the bomb, by going to
Greg's house and disrupts Greg and his wife having sex. They then proceed to
MISTY'S house where they interrupt a much-awaited sexual encounter with Dave
and Misty.
They break into the office and work their way down to Mr.
Rumpbangher's office and successfully disarm the bomb. Everything is back to
normal for Corky, Mr. Rumpbangher won't be killed and the paperwork for his
promotion will go through the next day.
Moments after Corky and his pals disarm the bomb, Mr.
Rumpbangher is arriving at his home. He walks into his house, which is lit
with candles. He is excited because his wife has set up a nice romantic
evening. As he walks into the room, where his wife is, he sees something so
unbelievable that it gives him a heart attack.
The next morning Corky walks into the office and sees the
equivalent of a New Years Eve party going on. He approaches Dave and Greg and
learns that Mr. Rumpbangher died of a heart attack. Corky realized that
because of Mr. Rumpbangher's sudden death, his promotion goes to the grave as
well.
