This is the story of Billy Pilgrim (Michael Sacks) who is ordinarily in almost every respect but one: he has come unstuck in time and jumps back and forth in his life with no control over where he is going next. Part of one morning he might spend on the distant planet Tralfamadore with sexy movie bombshell Montana Wildhack (Valerie Perrine), and at the same time be in a ditch in Belgium in World War II where he is set upon by GI’s Paul Lazzaro (Ron Leibman) and Roland Weary (Kevin Conway) and then captured by German soldiers. Then Billy finds himself on his honeymoon night in bed with his bride, the overweight, but rich Valencia Merble (Sharon Gans). Back in the war, Billy is marching with other prisoners, when he is pulled from the line to pose for pictures for a German press photographer. And so it goes, from past, present, to future, until Billy finally realises that in order for him to survive even to his death which, again, jumping around in time, he watches in Philadelphia, he must concentrate on the good things and ignore the bad in life.
