The story

Unlike most movies, there is no "plot" per se in this movie, rather a succession of seemingly unrelated scenes. The throughline in the film comes from the themes inherent in it: a biting satire of television; an indictment of fame, especially fame gained too early in life; commentary on the Monkees themselves and their experience as both product and performers; and a meditation on the power of media. Head begins at the dedication of a bridge.
