Summary

All Bob Dillon ever really wanted was a truck of his own with a fiberglass bug on top. He's a down-on-his luck exterminator from Queens who just can't seem to get a break. After losing his job as a pest control expert, he pursues his longtime dream of owning an environmentally friendly service. The flier for his new business reads: Professional Exterminator - Bonded! Fifteen Years Field Experience! Gone Private With Lethal New Concept! No Pest Left Alive!.
Meanwhile, Marcel in Paris is desperately in need of an assassin for a million dollar hit. When one of Bob's fliers falls into his hands, he thinks he's found his man. He approaches Bob, who unknowingly accepts, and what happens next is a hysterical comedy of errors. Soon all the greatest international assassins are in pursuit of Bob, their mysterious new competitor.
Now Bob is running for his life through the wormiest sections of the Big Apple - one step ahead of a Bolivian terminator, a killer cowboy, meat-headed CIA agents, a homicidal transvestite dwarf, cabbies packing serious heat...and the world's best assassin, a soft-hearted executioner named Klaus, who may just turn out to be the best friend he's got.
