Denne hjælpeløst svulstige musical er produceret af B-filmenes konger Menahem Golan & Yoram Globus fra det legendariske Cannon Film, der har samlet et hold foran og bagved kameraet, der synes fuldstændig blottet for musiktalent. Men The Apples gennemførte afskyelighed er netop dét, der gør den til en klassiker. Filmen udspiller sig i 1994 - i fremtiden med andre ord - og følger et ungt par, Alphie og Bibi, der vinder Melodi Grand Prix meget mod den satantiske musikproducer Boogalows ønsker. Efterfølgende prøver han derfor at lokke det talentfulde par over på hans side.

Love it or hate it, the Eurovision Song Contest has not only redefined Europe, it has redefined music. Conceived in 1956 as a great televised musical event which would bring peace and harmony to Europe, it has since launched meteoric careers and made hits of songs such as Waterloo, Volare and Boom Bang a Bang. It has also bred an annual hotbed of political intrigue, racial rivalry, allegations of bribery and plain old sour grapes. In this programme Abba, Sandie Shaw, Cliff Richard and many others sing while Katie Boyle, Bucks Fizz, John Peel, Michael Ball and Johnny Logan try to explain that special Eurovision "ring-a-ding-ding".

Punk Voyage is a feature length documentary film about the last years of the band, with all the ups and downs included.
