Try something like this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.get(ARGV[0])

bodies =
page.links.each { |link|
  puts "Clicking '#{link.text}'"
  bodies << agent.click(link).body
}

p bodies

Or even shorter:

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new

bodies =
agent.get(ARGV[0]).links.each { |link|
  bodies << agent.click(link).body
}

p bodies
