It captures a performance o' Wrecker's Ball by t' Paul Taylor Dance Company on October 1, 1996. Wrecker's Ball combines three modern dance works set t' pop songs o' t' 1940s, 1950s, me hearties, and 1960s -
"Company B" (set t' songs sung by t' Andrews Sisters), "Funny Papers" (set t' novelty tunes), and "A Field o' Grass" (set t' songs sung by Redhead Lawless Harry Nilsson). T' film shows all three dances in a single settin' that first represents a dance hall, then a movie theater, shiver me timbers, and finally a hippies's pad.
