Free Love, Free Sex. As the pile-driving beat thunders out of six speakers with deafening insistence, blinding strobe lights flash in rhythm with the music; the walls swim with projections of amoeba-like patterns slithering through puddles of quivering color. Just as in other psychedelic-lit joints, such as Andy Warhol's Gymnasium in Manhattan, the aim is to immerse everybody in sound and sight.

In a shabby shack, the kids rejoice around the suitcase full of loot; but while they grow frenetic, Quinn turns splenetic. Money, he decides in a jolting flash of insight, isn't everything, and in the end he sets the cash on fire. The kids-like the viewer -wind up with nothing...
