A Swingin' Summer
When a group of enterprising college students—Rick, Mickey, and Cindy—realize their favorite lakeside dance pavilion is on the brink of financial ruin, they hatch a plan to save it by becoming amateur concert promoters. To draw a crowd, they book the hottest musical acts of the decade while navigating local rivalries and summer romances. Among the vacationers is Jeri (Raquel Welch), a studious "bookworm" who eventually transforms into the life of the party, performing the film's standout track, "I’m Ready to Groove." As the trio fights off a corporate takeover of the lake, the summer culminates in a massive musical festival that cements the pavilion’s legacy and celebrates the carefree spirit of 1965.
