ynopsis

A mostly-deserted island, which is widely perceived to be the home to the fountain of youth, is off the coast of Florida. The island gets some visitors in the form of a teenage boy band, "the Wild Ones", and their girlfriends, who head there for a scavenger hunt — which annoys the island's wealthy owner, Wellington (Brian Donlevy). He recruits his daughter, Junior (Jayne Mansfield), to remove the teenagers from the island. Junior is looking forward to going there to see her love interest (and the island's only resident), Irving (Jack E. Leonard), who is asked to spy on the rowdy teenagers. They get some more visitors to the island when Herman (Irving's twin brother, whom Jack E. Leonard also plays) and his love interest, Camille Salamander (Phyllis Diller), come with their own evil plots. Who will find the fountain of youth?
