Plot summary
Jacki and Julian Dewar are fraternal twins who arrive by bus in London for spring break while their father is away in Mexico on business. They throw themselves into the city's underground party scene, taking along Agamemnon, a teddy bear the two address and treat as a father figure. At a club they meet Clive, a small-time pimp who lives off the rich and well connected and who is dodging a gangster he owes money to after gambling losses. Clive charms Jacki, and his sometime girlfriend Denise tries to seduce Julian. Julian turns her down; he regards himself and his sister as two halves of one mind and wants their closeness to become incestuous.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Goodbye Gemini (1970)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Goodbye Gemini was released alongside Freddie Francis's Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly, another film that hinted at consensual sibling incest, and conservative press campaigns against both films led to protests and some theaters refusing to screen them.
- The source novel was highly experimental, using dream and fantasy sequences written in the style of a Greek tragedy in which Agamemnon comes to life and interacts with Jacki; the film drops all that and runs in chronological order.
