How to Stuff a Wild Bikini finds swinging, surfing, singer, Frankie (Frankie Avalon, Muscle Beach Party) serving naval reserve duty in Tahiti separated from his beach bunny, Dee Dee (Annette Funicello, Beach Blanket Bingo). Frankie, fearing that Dee Dee might be having as much fun as he is in his tropical paradise, enlists the help of the local island witch doctor, Bwana (Buster Keaton, The General) to keep an eye on what’s going on back home. And what’s going on back home is that suave advertising executive, Ricky (Dwayne Hickman, Cat Ballou) has his sights set on Dee Dee. And Dee Dee might just be receptive to his advances.

Grab your swimsuits and surfboards because the fun is just beginning in How to Stuff a Wild Bikini featuring those beach movie favorites Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck, Stalag 17), Bonehead (Jody McCrea, Beach Blanket Bingo), Mike (Michael Nadar, TV’s Dynasty), and Puss (Alberta Nelson, Bikini Beach), along with several new faces including B.D. “Big Deal” MacPherson (Brian Donlevy, Woman They Almost Lynched) and Peachy Keane (Mickey Rooney, Breakfast at Tiffany’s).

How to Stuff a Wild Bikini is directed by William Asher (Beach Blanket Bingo, Muscle Beach Party), written by Asher and Leo Townsend (Beach Blanket Bingo, I’d Rather Be Rich), photographed by Academy Award winner Floyd Crosby (Tabu: A Story of the South Seas - 1931) with music by Les Baxter (Beach Blanket Bingo, Muscle Beach Party).
