Dilbert

When Dilbert wakes up, with Dogbert's help, after another night of having the egg dream, he discovers he isn't the only one to have had this dream. His fellow employees, Wally and Alice, tell Dilbert about a guy, Chicken Man, who turned into a chicken after he was put in charge of a project that he was unable to name. After the dismal failure of the throat lozenges, Dilbert is put in charge of a project to come up with a new product. As the project hits one snafu after another, Dilbert's reactions begin to increasingly resemble those of a chicken. Dilbert finally comes up with the name Acorn, only to discover that the word had caused serious embarrassment for the vice-president during his childhood. He is forced to use Dilmom's suggestion to name the product, and they settle on the name Gruntmaster 6000.

When rumors of competition in the field reach Dilbert, he is forced to push up the deadline on the Gruntmaster 6000. The Boss decides they need to increase security, so their progress is not leaked, and puts Dogbert in charge of the new extensive security. Dilbert is suspected of being a traitor and fired from his job, so he takes a job with the rival company. At his new job Dilbert has his own office and is surprised by how smoothly things run. Dilbert innocently suggests a marketing department, which ends up destroying the rival company, and he gets his old job back, minus the extensive security.

When Dilbert, Alice, and Wally are working on a new prototype, they realize they are competing against the notoriously ruthless Lena to come up with the best idea, and the losers will be transferred to the dreaded Albany. Lena seduces Dilbert in order to steal his idea of a skin depruner, while Wally joins Lena's team. The crowd embraces Lena's depruner, until Dogbert points out that it causes impotency, so Dilbert's team wins. Their prototype, the Gruntmaster, an exercise machine, ends up killing Lena, and it is unanimously decided that it was a fate better than moving to Albany.

When Dilbert discovers Wally reading Dogbert's investing book, the two get involved in an elaborate stock buying charade orchestrated by Dogbert, and wind up owning a controlling interest in their own company. Wally and Dilbert attend a board meeting, where the board members attempt to determine how to lose more money and Dogbert becomes CEO. Dilbert proposes the idea of flex-time, where employees make up their own schedules. This causes a mass exodus form the workplace and the company loses all its money. Wally sells both his and Dilbert's stock before the prices go back up, so they are left with nothing, unlike Dogbert, who now owns the company.

It is now time to test the Gruntmaster, and the legendary and jaded Bob Bastard is brought in to put the prototype to the test. The first test is the test of seismic activity, and the second is the test of high temperature endurance, both of which the prototype fails, much to Bob's satisfaction. Alice and Wally are completely under Bob's spell, so it is up to Dilbert to make sure the Gruntmaster passes its final test, which is the asteroid crash simulation test. Meanwhile, Dogbert has joined the space program and is on the space shuttle. From space, Dogbert is able to destroy the asteroid before it hits the Gruntmaster and Dilbert and Alice push the Gruntmaster out of Bob's way. Dilbert is able to stamp the prototype approved, as Bob's spaceship crashes to earth.

Dilbert, Alice, Wally and the Boss go to Elbonia, a third world country, which is covered in mud, where their factory is located to manufacture Gruntmasters. They discover the working conditions are horrendous, as the "Right" people have been horribly exploiting the Lefties, who they believe to be inferior because they are left handed. Dilbert tries to help the Lefties rebel, but is arrested and sentenced to death, while Alice tries to save the babies from the assembly line. As attempt after attempt to execute Dilbert fail, Dogbert, who is diplomat of Elbonia, makes himself dictator, and then frees Dilbert and meets the demands of the Lefties to improve their working conditions.
