Composing the film's main narrative thread are several long, uninterrupted shots of The Rolling Stones in a sound studio, recording and rerecording various parts to "Sympathy for the Devil. Interwoven through the movie are outdoor shots of Black Panthers milling about in a junkyard littered with the rusting cars heaped upon each other. The rest of the film contains a powerful political message in the form of a voiceover. A part of the film is devoted to indoor shots of a bookstore.
