Set to the soundtrack of the 1960s, a Philadelphia family moves toward the cultural upheaval in the years ahead. The Pryors' teen daughter Meg tries to shed her 'good girl' image by hanging with her worldly friend Roxanne and pursuing a dream of being an American Bandstand dancer. Meg's emerging personality, and the changes her mother's going through, don't sit well with Father.

A satirical comedy spoof of Superman, combining elements of the 50s TV show and 70s feature films, in which an inept superhero tries in vain to rescue his kidnapped alter-ego boss from a hippie-turned-gangster villain.
