A wounded Civil War soldier wakes up and wanders around late 60s New York City. At one point, he goes to Yankee stadium looking for the enemy, and in real footage he is escorted off the field by a policeman during a Yankees baseball game. Meanwhile, president Garfield is being stalked by his assassin, who makes many failed attempts on his life. Back in New York, real people are interviewed about the rise of singles bars and how they feel about sex, love and dating. A man and woman wrestle with each other in bed, eventually joined by a chimpanzee while the theme song to The Monkees plays. Throughout the movie a man representing a decency society presents his case for the clothing of animals. Welcome to the New York underground film movement.
