A lighthearted 1960s beach romp built on absurdist humor, musical numbers, and the clash between a millionaire's scheme and carefree teenage culture.

A millionaire sets out to prove his theory that his pet chimpanzee is as intelligent as the teenagers who hang out on the local beach, where he is intending to build a retirement home.
