The alleged story of how Diana Ross discovered The Jackson 5,we all know who originally discovered them. Anyway,the story begins when Ms. Ross finds a pink snake in her dressing room,which turns out to be Rosey,the brothers' pet snake.Fearing that something bad will happen to Rosey,Michael gets on his bike and heads down to the arena,Marlon,Jermaine,Tito, and Jackie follow him in Tito's old beat-up car. After getting Rosey out of harm's way,Michael and his brothers become fast friends with Ms. Ross and later on she discovers how talented they are and invites them to Detroit,MI for an audition with her record company (Motown),but the brothers have other ambitions:Jackie wants to be pro-basketball player, Tito wants to design and build cars,Jermaine wants to be a chef,Marlon wants to be a scientist,and Michael hopes to be a cowboy and run his own ranch. After sleeping on it,the Jackson 5 decides to head to Detroit to make music.

The Jackson 5 head out to the country to perform a concert in the wilderness.This concert is promoted by a greedy millionaire named,Mr. Carruthers,who plans to have all the trees cut down before the big show.But the brothers are so concerned about the animals in the forest that they feel that what Mr. Carruthers is doing is wrong,so when they get wise on Mr. Carruthers' plans,he decides to have his lumberjacks put the J5 in a deep,dark cave where water begins to leak into the cave,but thanks to Ray & Charles (with help from some moles),the brothers escaped unharmed and plan to get revenge on Mr. Carruthers and his lumberjacks.

The Jackson 5 prepare for a concert at Fort Paratroop.Michael and Marlon decides to march with some inductees and gets (accidently) inducted to the service.Jackie,Tito,and Jermaine must find a way to get their younger brothers out before their show.

The Jacksons are heading to Las Vegas for a big show, on the way, they make a pit stop at an old printing place to have some posters printed up for their show. But the guy that Jackie hired must've had his wires crossed because he stuck their picture to a wanted poster for another group of brothers called,The Dingbats, who are mean-spirted crooks.

While the J5 are rehearsing for a concert in the park,a crooked clown kidnaps a bongo playing monkey and takes him to the circus for his own greedy purposes.Meanwhile,the monkey' mother is furious to find her baby's gone and takes Michael hostage and forces him to play the bongos for her.It's up to Jackie,Tito,Marlon,and Jermaine to go to the circus and get the monkey back to the zoo before they lose Michael forever.
