The Monkees are tossed about in a psychedelic, surrealist, plotless, circular bit of fun fluff.

Crazy Credits

The movie ends with a still shot of a stylized, apparently vintage Columbia
Pictures logo. The "film" then: 1) skips a few frames, 2) gets tangled up
in the projector mechanism, 3) catches fire and burns/melts, and 4) the
film on which all of this has been filmed breaks as the soundtrack
continues. As the music ends, the laugh of the woman kissing the Monkees in
the first scene is heard again. See more »
