What it’s about. Un millionnaire, Harvey Huntington Honeywagon III, essaie de prouver à Vivian Clements une théorie selon laquelle un bébé chimpanzé est plus intelligent que des adolescents qui traînent sur la plage locale, à l'endroit où il veut construire une maison de retraite. Aidé de Eric Von Zipper, il cherche à les déloger de la plage en envoyant ce singe qui humilie les jeunes en les surpassant dans tout ce qu'ils font sur le site : surf, danse, conduite de voiture. Entretemps, Dee Dee est partagée sentimentalement entre son ami Frankie et Peter Royce Bentley, dit « Potato Bug », rockeur britannique et pilote de dragster (les deux rôles sont joués par le même acteur). Furieux, Frankie défie le rockeur à une course de dragsters.
