A frenetic, psychedelic musical satire that uses surreal vignettes and rock performances to critique fame, manufactured stardom, and establishment conformity with anarchic humor and visual inventiveness.

In this surrealistic and free-form follow-up to the Monkees' television show, the band frolic their way through a series of musical set pieces and vignettes containing humor and anti-establishment social commentary.
