Entertainer sisters Penny (Mamie Van Doren) and Jane Lowe (Lori Nelson) are hitchhiking to L.A. for a gig. They are caught skinny dipping and sentenced to work on a cotton farm for thirty days. Greedy womanizing farm owner Russ Tropp is secretly married to the judge. It's a scam to get cheap labor. The judge's son Bob Steele returns from the Navy to start working at the farm. He falls for Jane and discovers the corruption.

The best part of the movie happens in the first five minutes. It goes downhill real fast and does not bounce back. It may be exploitation but the skinny dipper uses the girls' best assets. Mamie Van Doren is the discount Marilyn Monroe and it is heavily discounted in this movie. There is no hoping for any acting excellence. It's got African antics. It's trying to get the youth market by tapping in the new fandangle Rock and Roll. Is this rocksploitation? It's all very campy.
