The most alienated hippie (George Peppard) turns happy, his tacky chick (Mary Tyler Moore) turns chic, and they promptly infect the town with their beatitude. Industry and commerce slow to a standstill until the Government sends an investigator (Dom DeLuise) who restores the right amount of sullen chaos...
