Max Frost, a 24-year old rock star millionaire, joins causes with a California politician to get the vote for 15-year olds. He continues his master plan by helping elect one of his groupies to the senate. Max and his cohorts resort to trickery to get congress to lower the minimum age requirements for higher office, and he's on his way to the Oval Office with his youth-controlled police state agenda.
After destroying the family car with a homemade bomb, 15-year-old Max Flatow takes the $800 he has made selling LSD and sets out on his own. Within 7 years, Max, who has changed his surname to Frost, has become the world's most idolized entertainer; a millionaire, he lives in a lavish Beverly Hills mansion with his girl friend, Sally LeRoy, a former child movie star, and an entourage of young associates. One day the opportunistic Mrs. Flatow sees her lost son on television and forces her husband to join her in attempting a family reunion. When she accidentally kills a child in an automobile accident, however, Max once more completely rejects her. Meanwhile, John Fergus, a liberal California congressman, has decided to ignore the advice of his political mentor, Senator Allbright, and run for the United States Senate by appealing to youth. Although Max consents to perform at a Fergus rally, he doublecrosses the politician by publicly demanding that the voting age be lowered to 14. The demonstrations that follow are so successful that within a month 18 states have given the vote to teenagers. Now determined to gain control of the nation, Max engineers Sally's election to Congress and then, by drugging the legislators with LSD, assures the passage of a bill to eliminate age requirements for office holders. Max runs for president and wins by a landslide. His first official act is to send all citizens over 35 to retirement camps where they are kept on a diet of hallucinogens. Although Max is now apparently all-powerful, there is a hint of things to come when he callously kills a crawfish belonging to two 7-year-old children. As the youngsters look at their dead pet, they vow to put everyone over 10 out of business.
