A swimming-pool salesman gets mixed up with beauty queens and bodybuilders when he falls in love.

When impulsive and reckless Laura Califatti totally wrecks a sports car belonging to tourist Carlo Cofield, she invites the distraught young man to spend the night on the couch of her Malibu Beach apartment. But he is thrown out by Laura's "patron," Rod Prescott, a pompous businessman who runs a swimming pool company owned by his wife. After sleeping on the beach, Carlo goes for a swim, nearly drowns, and is saved by a seductive surfer-skydiver, Malibu, who gives him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Captivated by the girl, Carlo decides to settle down in the area. Since he has failed to get any compensation for his sports car, he uses his knowledge of Rod's indiscreet affair with Laura to get a lucrative job as a pool salesman. Then, to further his romance with Malibu, Carlo bribes an astrologist, Madame Lavinia, into telling Malibu's body-builder boyfriend, Harry, that sex is bad for his physique. The romantic entanglements become even more involved when Rod's wife, Diane, announces that she is suing for divorce, naming Laura as corespondent. Eventually, all six participants become trapped in Carlo's cliffside house during a rainstorm. As it tips over and slides down the incline to the muddy beach below, Malibu is reunited with the muscle-bound Harry, Diane agrees to drop her divorce proceedings, and Laura and Carlo discover they are made for each other.
