An executive (Dave Foley) becomes angered when someone else gets a promotion that he feels he deserves. He walks into his office to give him a piece of his mind, only to discover him dead.

Disney shelved "The Wrong Guy" with the fear that it would not make them any money. It was not released at all in the US and only on video in Canada. It is, currently, in the Disney vaults until Disney execs decide that the movie is good enough and will generate a high enough viewer response to be released.
