 A drunk-as-a-skunk Jack Kerouac is patronized by old school chum William F. Buckley, Jr. while they attempt to tackle the subject of "The Hippies". Kerouac, who had been made notorious as the leader of the juvenile delinquents in the 1950s (being mistaken by the press for Dean Moriarity of "On the Road", a character not even based on himself but on his friend Neal Cassady), disavows any link between the Beats and The Hippies as he shows his true colors: Red, White & Blue. Ed Sanders of the Fugs and San Fernando State College Sociology Department Chairman Lewis Yabolonsky, author of "The Hippie Trip", try to parry with Kerouac while Allen Ginsberg looks on sadly from the audience.
