It also makes toast. The Chief sends Officer McAllister, a lifelong Time Cop wannabe, back to 1865 to stop John Wilkes Booth. Instead, McAllister bonds with Booth over being lonely, loses his gun to a very literal theater bouncer, knocks Booth out with toast, and accidentally makes him president. Every fix makes things worse: he shoots Hitler, erases the Holocaust, turns Europe into the Soviet Union, and somehow puts Al Gore in the White House with Gary Coleman as VP. He swears off meddling and destroys the machine. Or does he?
