Elderly neighbors of The Monkees suddenly appear at their beach house, explaining that they've been evicted by the city, which is tearing their homes down to build a mammoth parking lot, but when Mike and Micky read one of the eviction notices they see it violates every standing development code in the city. Mike takes his complaint to City Hall, but gets the runaround from Mayor Yort Samuel Motley and his secretary, leaving a confused Mike on the outside - and unaware that Motley is now in the reluctant pay of Wilber Zeckenbush, a corrupt southern-fried land developer who plans to wipe out a large chunk of the city to build parking lots and thus fatten the city's coffers as well as his own cut. As it is an election year and because their house has no room for the extra guests, Micky then persuades Mike to run for Mayor, which surprises Motley but which sets Zeckenbush into action as he works to sabotage Mike's campaign. When a Zeckenbush gang ransack The Monkees' beach house, the boys sneak into City Hall and do some investigative work themselves, and find Zeckenbush's land development plan, but when Peter photographs it the picture fails to come out properly. But unaware that Mike is no longer a threat to Motley, Zeckenbush commissions employees of his companies to send campaign contributions to Mike; the ensuing windfall allows Micky, Peter, and Davy to launch a mammoth publicity push for Mike. But it all collapses in ruin when Zeckenbush confronts Mike with the truth about his campaign contributions, and ashamed at thus being fooled, Mike reluctantly quits the race - which results in an unexpected twist from an unlikely area.
