Synopsis
When a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer decides to create a musical with rock performers, Jem and the Holograms compete with the Misfits for the lead in the show. However, Jem's questionable identity pushes Eric to the limit, and he announces that he will pay $1,000 to the person who can expose Jem's secret past.
