David, Clifford and Dale, three yoyo kids who travel back and forward between their divorced parents, form a rock band and audition for West Mall Corporation’s Christmas Show. They are contracted to play a kid’s musical Percy Gnome and the Flowers to an audience of children in malls and shopping centres during the Christmas holidays.
Playing live performances day after day the band develops a split identity; they continue to think of themselves as hard rocking “Legends” but become universally known as “Percy Gnome and the Flowers”.
From a nervous beginning, David develops into a lead guitarist with flair and discovers an unexpected gift for song writing and composition.
Clifford sees himself as a rocker with attitude determined to live the rock and roll dream. The more successful “Percy Gnome and the Flowers” becomes the more negative and resentful Clifford becomes.
Dale develops his people skills; he is the one who holds the band together when it seems musical conflicts will drive them apart.
Irene joins the show to sing Rosemary’s part in the ‘panto’ and signs on as a ‘Flower’ not a ‘Legend’ which causes complications when she falls in love with David .
Disturbed by this blossoming love affair, Irene’s mother, Ingrid dusts off her Cabaret Act and books a six week cruise on the Pacific Princess sailing to Osaka in Japan.
Irene is faced with the decision does she go on the cruise and perform with her mother, or stay with David and the band?
The big musical finale occurs when the band is invited to take part in an Australia Day spectacular, a cavalcade of rock and roll at the Superdome.
