Full Synopsis

The No-Frills Revue is a series of skits and songs, performed just as the title promises, with little sets and no elaborate costuming. The show begins by emphasizing the importance of stools, followed by a therapy patient's dream concerning Yma Sumac. We witness a skit about nerves before a high school reunion and living life as a boring person. We also see an organization with the goal of making people go crazy, such as the noisy early morning garbage man or the person in the express line with twenty items.
