A plotless collection of various musical encounters and adventures by the famous rock band "The Monkees" which follows Davy, Peter, Mike and Mickey as they travel through an assortment of places in search of meaning.
With throngs of people, honking automobiles, policemen and the National Guard watching on, Mayor Feedback, aided by his establishment cronies, is about to commence a ribbon-cutting ceremony on a new suspension bridge in San Francisco. As he is “dedicating this magnificent model of modern architecture, one of the largest suspended arch bridges in the world,” Micky, from out of nowhere, rushes into the scene, breaks the ribbon, and races through the bridge, with Peter, Michael and David bringing up the rear. At the middle of the bridge, Micky whips off his jacket and plummets overboard, and Peter, Michael and David watch in horror as their buddy splashes into the bay. At the bottom of the bay, under a melange of color solarization effects, Micky does an underwater ballet with a pair of mermaids to the tune of “Porpoise Song.”
