Change the Logline Exercise

Change one or two aspects of the below logline to something new. See how long it can go on for....

A lone outlaw plans to infiltrate the backwoods research institute that holds his daughters hostage. Can he do it before they are chipped?

Example:

A lone outlaw plans to infiltrate the backwoods research institute that holds his three prize cats hostage. Can he do it before they are injected with a killer virus?

President by day, black "wet ops" specialist for the CIA by night, he must infiltrate the Watergate hotel and "remove" a Soviet agent from the gene-pool before he can publish the list of "Nobel Prize" winners 90 days before the "official" notification, thereby proving that the Nobel committee is a fraud and an arm of NBC.

A President up for re-election hires a CIA specialist to dig up dirt on his political opponent. But when the specialist is found dead, a secret, bloody war breaks out between the two parties, both candidates keeping it from the public for fear of mutually assured destruction.

A Presidential contenders wife sets off a military coup to assure her place in the White house, while the sitting First Lady must "Stands By Her Man" and defeat the would be usurper at her own game, before thousands die in a staged terrorist attack? The CATHOUSE (could be next seasons 24!)
