Thousands of college students converge on Daytona Beach, Florida, during spring vacation. The young Northerners shed their winter clothing in favor of scanty beach costumes. They relax away from the authority of parents and professors, the local police providing the only restraint. Sunbathing, football games played with beer cans, diving from the balconies, driving on the beach, dancing, car watching, and girl watching are all part of the day's activities. At night there are parties in jam-packed motel rooms, go-go dancing in the city nightclubs, and couples making love on the beach. Northern motorcycle clubs make their own distinctive impression on the scene, dressed in black leather, with their girl friends hanging on behind. Rock music provides a continuous background to the action.
