The Say Say Say video is about a couple of conmen (Jackson and McCartney) who apparently go around the country selling a "strength potion". McCartney poses as the man selling the potion that will make you miraculously strong, and Jackson poses as someone in the crowd who wants to "try" the potion and see if it works. Of course, since Jackson is in on the scam, he drinks the potion and immediately wins an arm-wrestling match with a much bigger man (also in on the scam). After this display, the rest of the crowd surges forward with everyone wanting to buy some potion. With the money they make from the strength potion, McCartney, Jackson, and McCartney's wife Linda (playing another con-woman and part of their little group) go off and give the money they've made to the poor. McCartney and Jackson then travel to the next town and perform a vaudville act in a local tavern. While there, Jackson notices a pretty girl in the crowd (played by Michael's sister La Toya). He flirts with her a bit, but in the end he cannot stay with her because of his life on the road. McCartney gives La Toya flowers in the last scene, and she stands by the side of the road waving as the other three take off in their wagon, bound for the next town where they will presumably perform or try the "strength potion" scam all over again.
