It's Haley's sixteenth birthday and Metal Mickey thinks he's in love with her. When she doesn't answer his feelings, Mickey decides to leaves home.

Mickey discovers he can make music and becomes a pop star thanks to a song written by Haley & Janey and some shady managing courtesy of Mr. Jason. Before long the Metal superstar leaves the Wilburforce family behind and moves into his own flat.
