picture a gangster movie, starring groucho marx as the kingpin. marx has a former partner (mickey rooney) in high security prison that's going to squeal on him, so he brings back his favorite hitman (jackie gleason) from retirement, now happily married (to carol channing) with a teenage daughter.
teenage daughter falls in love and teams up with a bunch of hippies (led by John Philip Law as Stash), later the mother joins the merry band and asks all 200 of them to move in with the family. dad is in maximum security prison locked up with a rapist and a college professor in jail for dodging the draft. as dad is writing a letter to his wife, professor informs dad that the stationary is dipped in acid.
dad has a trip and realizes killing is wrong, he and the professor dump 40 pages of blotter into the prison cafeteria (coincidentally the warden and governor are eating there that day too), build a hot air balloon out of meat sacks and a oxygen tank, fly over the ocean where "the god" is being assaulted by the hippies, the hitman's family and a nubile nympho bodyguard.
edited heavily and interspliced with subtle random counterculture patter, and released in 1968 on paramount. the whole thing ends with a musical number performed by carol channing, and the entire movie credits are sang out loud at the end of the show.
