Plot
This 4th entry in the Beach Party film series is a strange one. A Martian teenager named Gogo (Tommy Kirk) is sent to Earth to prepare the way for an invasion from Mars. The first Earthling he meets, one Aunt Wendy, is a rich widow who runs a dress shop catering to teenagers. She immediately decks out Gogo in a swimsuit and sends him out to the beach. Her nephew, Big Lunk, is a volleyball-loving guy with little interest in romance, which causes frustration for his girlfriend Connie (Annette Funicello). Naturally, Gogo meets Connie and they fall in love. Meanwhile, Aunt Wendy's shady neighbor and his gang concoct a scheme to part Aunt Wendy from her cash. Also meanwhile, the local motorcycle gang (Eric von Zipper and his Rat Pack) wants revenge on the volleyball players for... getting footprints on their beach. Somehow all the subplots come together at the pajama party.Cast
