A father, anxious for his son's financial well being, develops a special soda pop called Dopokoke which is laced with cocaine. Dopokoke is advertised as relief "for that tired feeling."

Loosely based on the allegations that the Coca-Cola company and other soft drink manufacturers laced their soda with dope.
