McClain, un gangster afro-américain, revient à Los Angeles après deux ans d'absence. Il retourne habiter chez Elly, son ex-femme et prend contact avec Gladys, une ancienne complice qui lui propose d'organiser un hold-up. Il s'agit de voler la recette d'un grand stade de Los Angeles pendant un match de football. Il ne reste plus qu'à recruter des complices, de préférence des professionnels du crime. Un quatuor, trié sur le volet, est donc engagé. Le jour dit, l'opération se déroule sans anicroche et McClain dépose le butin dans l'appartement de son ex-femme. Peu de temps après, leur voisin, un certain Herb Sutro, fait irruption chez eux en l'absence de McClain et tente de violer Ellie avant de l'abattre.

Head begins at the dedication of a bridge. A politician is supposed to give a speech but there is a barrage of feedback from the microphone. Suddenly the Monkees (further) interrupt the ceremony by running through the assembled officials to sound of horns and sirens. The rest of the film has no overriding plot but consists of a series of vignettes highlighting the unpleasant aspects of being public figures. There is a conflict and a resolution, but the film is essentially plotless; as the opening song related: "We hope you like our story/Although there isn't one/That is to say, there's many/That way, there is more fun!" Rather, it is a seemingly stream of consciousness stringing-together of musical numbers, satires of various film genres, elements of psychedelia, and references to topical issues such as the Vietnam War. The distorted consciousness and psychedelia elements resemble an LSD trip.. Recurring images include a black box in which the group are trapped, a desert location, and a gigantic Victor Mature.

The opening scene is set at a wild teenage party in a small apartment. The kids suddenly turn against everything around them and trash the apartment to complete annihilation. The kids are called 'Destruction Incorporated' a bunch of self-imposed derelicts who terrorize a sleepy Florida town. They are led by the near-psychotic Dexter (Ray Sager), his pal Denny (Steve White), Denny's girlfriend Bitsy (Nancy Lee Noble), and their friend Lummon (Ralph Mullin). Their reason for forming this so-called "destruction crew" is as Dexter states: "just for the hell of it."
