The movie, which contains four songs, is a sex farce about two male friends who find themselves at a hotel that is supposed to be for honeymooners only. Unusual for its time, the film centers on an interracial romance (involving characters played by Robert Goulet and Nancy Kwan) but the racial difference is never mentioned or even alluded to.

Novelization
Slightly in advance of the film's release, as was the custom of the era, a paperback novelization of the film was published by Dell Books. The author was renowned crime and western novelist Marvin H. Albert, who also made something of a cottage industry out of movie tie-ins. He seems to have been the most prolific screenplay novelizer of the late '50s through mid '60s, and, during that time, the preeminent specialist at light comedy.
