Anti-establishment comedy has Tom Smothers dropping out of his well-paid executive position to become a tap dancing magician. His "new life" takes him on the road to the small-town bars and strip joints of America. In one of them he meets Katharine Ross and they start a relationship. Meanwhile, his manager, John Astin, also a former executive, has incorporated and is making millions training other executives to become tap dancing magicians. So it all comes full circle and Smothers is right back where he started. An interesting idea taken to its logical conclusion, but so what? Smothers' dead-pan style doesn't help.
