À New York, dans les années 1950, deux gangs de rue rivaux, les Jets (Américains d'origine polonaise, irlandaise et italienne) et les Sharks (immigrés d'origine portoricaine), font la loi dans le quartier du West Side. Ils se provoquent sans cesse, et s'affrontent à l'occasion. Tony, ancien chef des Jets qui a maintenant pris ses distances avec le gang, et Maria, la sœur du chef des Sharks, tombent amoureux, mais le couple doit subir les forces opposées de leurs clans respectifs.

An extended dream sequence presents a biblical allegory about the creation, downfall and rebirth of humanity, told through a series of surrealistic vignettes and musical numbers.

33 1⁄3 Revolutions per Monkee is a television special starring the Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969. Produced by Jack Good, guests on the show included Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, the Clara Ward Singers, the Buddy Miles Express, Paul Arnold and the Moon Express, and We Three. Although they were billed as musical guests, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger (alongside their then-backing band The Trinity) found themselves playing a prominent role; in fact, it can be argued that the special focused more on the guest stars (specifically, Auger and Driscoll) than the Monkees themselves. This special is notable as the Monkees' final performance as a quartet until 1986, as Peter Tork left the group at the end of the special's production. The title is a play on "​33 1⁄3 revolutions per minute."
