Summary Fredric Hobbs, an unconventional artist, tries to persuade a cynical millionaire Hollywood producer, Gordon Goodloins, to provide financial backing for a projected art film project, Troika. Their continuing encounter provides the frame for the three parts of the film. In the first segment, Chef, a mad sculptor, creates strange plaster forms, smashes them, and throws them into a stove. Part two utilizes documentary footage of campus unrest, contrasting the rigid traditional college setting with the university of the present, and features the sound of machine gun fire as a girls' chorus chants "Let Me Entertain You." The third part centers on a world of variously pigmented young people led by Attenuated Man and invaded by Rax (an Everyman figure)--an 8-foot-high, bug-like, blind robot animated from within by a human being.
