A group of primitive mudpeople stumble upon a croquet ball and follow it to a deserted Long Island estate, where they become civilized and adopt the mannerisms and attire of wealthy partygoers. The film is an allegory for the excesses of the upper class, ultimately ending with the mudpeople reverting back to their primitive state and vanishing into the woods after a chaotic croquet match.
