An ambitious young band looking to break big in a popular talent show learns that winning doesn't come easy when the gig is rigged in director Lance Comfort's British pop classic featuring music by Jerry Lee Lewis, Kenny and the Wranglers, the Nightshades, and the Zephyrs. American music mogul Milton H. Bass runs the hottest talent show around, and everyone knows that a victory at the famed "Amateur Upstarts" competition is a guaranteed ticket to the big time. Though Dave (David Hemmings) and his band the Smart Alecs are confident that the crowd will go wild for their hot new Brighton Beat sound, popular singer Miss Wanda has secretly conspired with the crooked stage manager to rig the show and take home the top prize. With the clap-o-meter set to tip the scale for Miss Wanda, the Smart Alecs are really going to have to get the crowd cheering if they plan on taking home the top prize and breaking big with the Brighton Beat sound.
