The film opens with a flashback to ancient times, where the first Disguisey ancestor discovers the art of disguise. Fast forward to the present day, Pistachio Disguisey (played by Dana Carvey) works as a waiter in his father Fabbrizio’s (played by James Brolin) Italian restaurant. Unbeknownst to Pistachio, his family possesses a unique gift: the ability to change their appearance at will and become masters of disguise.
One day, Pistachio’s parents are kidnapped by the villainous Devlin Bowman (played by Brent Spiner), who seeks to use their disguise skills for his own evil plans. Left behind, Pistachio discovers his family’s secret legacy and sets out to rescue his parents and stop Bowman’s nefarious scheme.
With the help of his grandfather (played by Harold Gould) and his loyal assistant Jennifer (played by Jennifer Esposito), Pistachio embarks on a series of misadventures and disguises himself as various characters to uncover Bowman’s whereabouts and rescue his parents.
Along the way, Pistachio adopts a wide range of disguises, from a turtle club owner to a cowboy, a Chinese delivery man, and even a giant cherry pie. Each disguise brings its own set of challenges and comedic moments as Pistachio navigates through dangerous situations and encounters colorful characters.
As Pistachio gets closer to unraveling Bowman’s plan, he discovers that the villain intends to use a powerful energy source called the “Energico” to take over the world. With time running out, Pistachio must summon all his courage and cunning to defeat Bowman and save his parents from imminent danger.
In a climactic showdown, Pistachio confronts Bowman and his henchmen, using his mastery of disguise and quick thinking to outsmart them and save the day. With the help of his family and friends, Pistachio emerges victorious, proving that even the most unlikely hero can make a difference.
“The Master of Disguise” is praised for its slapstick humor, imaginative costumes, and Dana Carvey’s comedic talents. While it received mixed reviews from critics, the film remains a favorite among audiences for its lighthearted entertainment and family-friendly humor.
