IMDB

Frankie Avalon is in competition with a British rock star, Potato Bug (Frankie Avalon), over Annette Funicello.  A local newspaper man is writing editorials about the "beach bums" and trying to prove that an ape is as smart as they.  A local biker gang is trying to join forces with the journalist.  Don Rickles owns a restaurant and a drag strip, and sometimes the beach bums race cars against Potato Bug.
A super silly movie.  Pure cheese all the way.  If you enjoy camp then you pretty much would have to enjoy this movie.  There's even a woman who can send people flying with a shake of her ass.  Lots of stupid fun.
