ST Rose High School will present a story of
Conrad Birdie, one the biggest rock and roll superstar in the world and once announced that he is being drafted teen-aged female fans start marching in the streets in protest. Albert F. Peterson his manager and mama's boy was finally going to hit the big time when one of his songs was to be featured in a Birdie movie.
Rosie, Albert's secretary and fiancée of six years, pitches an idea to Ed Sullivan to have Birdie kiss one of his fans as a symbolic goodbye to all his fans on "The Ed Sullivan Show" , while he sings a yet to be written song by Albert to be called "One Last Kiss". Sullivan buys the idea. The fan chosen is Kim McAfee of Sweet Apple, Ohio. Up until being chosen as the recipient of Birdie's kiss, Kim's sole focus in life was being pinned by her boyfriend, Hugo Peabody. Birdie's presence in Sweet Apple brings up many issues which may damper Rosie and Albert's plans, including a jealous Hugo, an exasperated Harry McAfee (Kim's father). The ultimate problem may be outside of Rosie and Albert's control, except for a little assistance of some bio-chemistry hopefully to solve the problem.
