Synopsis

In Una aventura llamada Menudo, Menudo members are supposed to fly to Ponce, Puerto Rico for a concert. However, having before arrived at concert sites by way of airplane, helicopter, and fire truck, and deciding during a meeting that arriving by motorcycle would be too dangerous due to wild crowds, band member Ricky Meléndez then hires the services of a hot air balloon company, and during their balloon flight to the concert site, they have trouble and crash-land on a beach near a mansion.

Rodríguez's character, a big fan of Menudo who feels old and put aside by her young, hip nieces, lives in that mansion, along with her girls.

Looking for help, the Menudo guys arrive at the house, where they are given food and a room while they try to get in contact with their group director.

As the story develops, Menudo member Johnny Lozada falls in love with one of the girl residents, and Menudo members meet new friends, sing and dance their way through the story.

"Mi Banda Toca Rock", "Súbete A Mi Moto" and "Quiero Rock" appear as background (incidental) music in the film but do not appear on the soundtrack album. Rene Farrait, a former member who had already exited the group when the movie was filmed, also appears incidentally on the background, on a poster "Señora Mia" had of Menudo's "Quiero Ser" album's cover, which had been released in 1981. This album also contains the last two songs this version of the group (Menudo had over 30 members during its history, always grouped as a quintet) recorded together as a whole with Lluvia and Estrella Polar.
