The hilarious account of one boys climb to succesS within the American free enterprise system and the authorities trying to stop them. Marvin Ziegler. Better known as Ziggy, is a seventeen year old product of the California school system. He is charming, brilliant and good-looking. But he can neither read or write and his vocabulary is self taught, mostly the four letter variety! He's just a little bit out of step, but his difference is what makes him unique. He's a great guy... he just doesn't fit! At work he gets fired for playing "not for boardcast" records over the radio.
