Before the opening credits there is a teaser that shows what happens on a vacation when vacationers lose their travelers cheques. Johnny and Frank open the show with their rendition of the song 'Together' (includes a series of comic scenes showing the team traveling the world). In the first skit, called 'Fantasy Motel', the cast send-up the Ricardo Montalban television series 'Fantasy Island'. In their version Johnny plays the motel's proprietor (complete with tropical white suit) who tries to grant the fantasies of his guests including, Italian movie star Sofia Erotica (Carol Robinson); professional wrestler the Great Zybisko (Lou Pitoscia) and his greatest challenge, the man who has everything, Greek shipping magnate Aristophanes Ostentatious (Frank). Wayne and Shuster present their regular 'Newsnose' feature, a series of skits showing the 'news that nobody knows'. Includes a new revolutionary self-cleaning kitchen; a talk with General Flackbottom (Johnny) who dismisses the existence of UFO's; and new advances in personal banking. The feature ends with a special edition of the Griff Mervin Show in which Griff (Frank) interviews the Russian star Ivan Ivanovich Shlepnikoff (Johnny), who recently defected to the free world. The main sketch is a spoof of the hit movie Rocky. In their version 80-year-old Rocky Bolognese (Johnny), with the help of his trainer Mickey (Frank), decides to make a dramatic comeback after 32 years of retirement and eight world championships.
