The plot involves a MagicalGirl named Laura who is looking for love. She journeys through TheFifties, TheSixties, TheSeventies, and TheEighties meeting several different men along the way. All this is set to popular music from each decade, hence the film's title. A jukebox voiced by Creator/ScatmanCrothers narrates the story, which otherwise has no dialogue.
