How to Stuff a Wild Bikini

“It's a Beginner's Course in 'Boy-Girlsmanship'”

Ricky (Dwayne Hickman) is a sailor shipped out to Tahiti, and he leaves behind his girlfriend Dee Dee (Annette Funicello) with only a witch doctor's magic to watch over her. William Asher's beach party picture brings in Mickey Rooney, a brief Frankie Avalon, and Buster Keaton in one of his last roles. Loyalty at a distance is the whole joke here, and the film plays it for laughs.
