This most famous of the beach movies is actually the fifth in the series. It again stars Annette Funicello as Dee Dee and Frankie Avalon as Frankie, a clean-cut couple of teenagers. Their surfing activities are slightly sidetracked this time by some skydiving adventures as they frequent the skydiving school run by Big Drop (Don Rickles). Big Drop also runs the local hang-out joint where new teen singing sensation Sugar Kane (Linda Evans) has been making nightly appearances. Her manager Bullets (Paul Lynde) is making sure that she is kept on the front page of the papers by staging various stunts that usually involve someone's life being saved. A stunt he doesn't expect though is for Sugar Kane to be kidnapped by the local hood Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck). Lucky for the kids, a mermaid named Lorelei (Marta Kristen) points them in right direction in time to save Sugar.
