When Shirley's father, who is in his late sixties, pulls up in a hot red sports car, the Partridge kids are elated with their jet-set Granddaddy and even ask him to join their group. When he takes them seriously and has his mandolin electrified and learns all the Partridge songs, much to his shock of Grandma, he's ready to tour with his musical kin. In a last ditch effort to discourage the old man's new fling, they convince Reuben to give his unbiased assessment of Grandpa's act. To the shock of the family, Reuben sees a future in the family act for the elder member. He feels that the audience might like the "campy" crooner and might laugh at his novel act. Grandpa, whose voice is at best, average, expected the audience to take him seriously and to "dig" him for what he is. Meanwhile, Grandma is vexed over Grandpa's new image. She tells Shirley how he's wearing sideburns, taking skydiving lessons, talking about running around with the chorus girls and -- because he wanted her to "catch up," he bought a mini skirt for Grandma! Determined to have his debut, Granddaddy gets Reuben to book him on the same bill with his grandchildren. Just as he is about to sing his opening rock number, Grandma stands up in the audience and, with all eyes on her, requests that Grandpa play the song they courted to, "Bye Bye Blackbird." At first embarrassed, Grandpa is later inspired by the audience who appreciate Grandpa for the sincerity of the old song, instead of the hilarity of him singing rock and roll. He promises Grandma a trip around the world if she promises to keep up with him.

Shirley's dad visits the Partridge family at one o'clock in the morning and surprises them with the announcement that he and Grandma have split up. Grandpa plans to stay the night before leaving for Big Sur, but he is also surprised when Grandam arrives on the scene. It's a youth versus old age confrontation between them. Grandpa wants to be "with it" and Grandma is content to live a more quiet life. It's up to the Partridge Family to get things patched up, and it isn't easy. Not only are Grandma and Grandpa difficult to live with when they aren't speaking to each other, but the Partridges have a club date and can't leave until the folks are back together. Plans for a reconcilement backfire and Grandpa leaves to hitchhike to Big Sur. The Partridges set out to look for him on the road and on the way to their club date. Despite the fact that they pick him up in quite a disheveled state, Grandpa is determined to continue to Big Sur. He is convinced to delay his trip and stay for the club date. Grandma and Grandpa are tricked into sitting at the same table and the Partridges get them back together musically. With their differences set aside, Grandma and Grandpa leave for Big Sur together.
