The story is a simple one of four young men struggling to make it as a swing & standards close harmony group in those pre-Beatles, pre-grassy knoll days of our Perry Como innocence. So what s the problem? They re dead! Wiped out by a bus full of Catholic schoolgirls while the lads were driving in their now iconic cherry red 54 Mercury convertible to their first real gig (at the Fusel-Lounge in a local Pennsylvania airport). The schoolgirls, by the by, were okay. But a second opportunity is now heaven sent to The Plaids. They ve returned to Earth nearly 50 years later to put on the show they never performed in life. There are problems of course, not least of which is that they are dead. And there are the more prosaic challenges, such as remembering lyrics and moves that they haven t sung or danced in over 40 years.
