Plot summary
Songwriter Jason Jones has had a bloody nose trying to break into the pop business, so he books a holiday through Hairy Holidays, an agency run by the shifty Mr. Pollack. Pollack sends him to Brittlehurst Manor, a health farm in the countryside. On the train Jason meets Judy, who is traveling to the same place to meet her long-lost aunt. The aunt lives there with her husband, Dr. Storm, who uses a wheelchair and keeps a gang of biker thugs around him; Frederick is part of the doctor's entourage. The farm is a front for lobotomy experiments that turn wayward hippies into obedient zombies. Abraham turns up looking for his girlfriend.
