Members of a sorority house engage in a variety of fund-raising schemes, including a supposed concert by The Beatles.

Reception
The Los Angeles Times said it had "the same old formula."[5]
Filmink commented on the plot concerning the Beatles, writing "The weird thing is, the film features appearances from The Beach Boys and Lesley Gore and you spend the whole second half going, ‘why didn’t they make this plot about trying to get The Beach Boys and/or Lesley Gore?’ The songs are great, it's hard to tell the characters apart, it's bright and colourful."[6]
