- Synopsis:
- A group of concerned adults try to ban rock and roll music in their town believing that the music promotes juvenile delinquency. A prominent TV producer and a disc jockey attempts to convince the adults (the 'squares') in the town that rock and roll is nothing but harmless fun. The two sides do battle in court during a televised trial. To help decide the future of rock-and-roll star witnesses are called from the Rock-and-Roll hall of Fame. The evidence includes performances from four top rock-and-roll talents of the 1950s, including Fats Domino and Joe Turner, who perform "I'm in Love Again", "Ain't it a Shame", "Feelin' Happy", "Honey Chile" and "Lipstick, Powder and Paint".
