In order to get the money for a parade uniform, Chris applies for a job as a soda jerk.

Lucy is prepared to chaperone her daughter Chris and some of her school friends for a week at Sandy Cove. When Chris' school principle decides that one woman can't possibly chaperone all those girls Lucy recruits Viv to come along. While at the beach Lucy decides that the kids think that she and Viv are old foogys so they try to dress and act young, only to find out in the end that the kids would rather have their chaperones behave as adults.
