When a publicity stunt to promote the singing career of Sugar Kane (Linda Evans) engineered by her publicist (Paul Lynde) balloons out of control, Frankie (Frankie Avalon), Dee Dee (Annette Funicello) and the gang are pulled into the ensuing comic adventures.

Throw in a lovesick biker, Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck) and a mermaid (Marta Kristen) and Beach Blanket Bingo is pure comic confection. The 5th of American International’s classic Beach Party films. (1965)
