Patrick Duffy hosted this special and it started out with a message from a fictional President of the United States, President Collins who said "A new day is dawning here in America, things are turning out right, American men are asserting themselves and their women are standing down ready to their share. This is the COllins way, keep it simple, keep it short, keep it all for the men who earned it." It is about an America under a dictatorship, the family has been away for several years and doesn't know what happened. Women can't go outside or speak, same with blacks and minorities. The Constitution and Bill of Rights have been abolished.
The family decides to escape but the boy is captured and the family is told that they can leave only if they let the boy donate one of his lungs.
