It's Easter vacation. A busload of college students from Los Angeles is headed to Palm Springs for fun. The boys are chaperoned by coach Fred Campbell. Underaged Jane Hoover (Connie Stevens) falls for rich playboy Eric Dean (Robert Conrad) with a fast car. He gets into a fight with Doug Fortune (Ty Hardin) as they compete for Jane who is using the fake identity of Gail Lewis. Bunny Dixon (Stefanie Powers) is tired of her overprotective Palm Springs police chief father.
This is basically a beach party movie taking place at poolside. They dress like the 50's away from the pool. It's mostly harmless. The humor has no edge. It's a bunch white people doing the twist while pretending to be hip. There is a good fist-a-cuff in the middle. It could have been the start of a good rivalry with some thugs but they seem to go away just as quickly. Instead, the melodrama gets concentrated on Eric but he turns pathetic. The movie needs a simpler villain. Overall, there are some fun and some drama but non of it is that good.
