M1, T25: The Partridge Family and Reuben return home one night after a long trip and are awakened by loud music. To their surprise, they discover a young man, Bobby Conway, playing his tapes in their garage. Bobby explains that he has waited one week for their return so that he could play his music for them. But he doesn't write lyrics and the Partridges don't perform instrumentals. Danny remembers some poems thy received in the mail and suggests they try to find the author, Lionel Poindexter, who lives in Denver. The Partridges and Bobby travel to Denver and find Lionel, who is a bit strange. He greets them dressed in a full suit of armor; one of his jobs is distributing leaflets on the street for a product called Sir Lancelot Plums. Lincoln tells the group that he is tone deaf but will listen to Bobby's tapes to see if he can come up with lyrics. Bobby discovers that Lionel has all his jobs to enable him to give gifts to the orphanage where he was raised. Bobby meets two of the little girls at the orphanage who adore Lionel and think he is a genius. The eight-year-old was the person who had sent Lionel's poems to the Partridges. Finally Lionel comes up with lyrics and the Partridge Family sings the song "Stephanie" at their nightclub concert. It's a big success, and Bobby and Lionel decide to team up. They say goodbye to the Partridges and head for Hollywood.
