By accident, nurse Martha spills some chemical over some lab-mice,
& they become lethal & almost throw her out of a window. Her
soon-to-be boyfriend Doc Harrison saves her just in the nick of time. Then
he takes the chemical & throws it into the Hudson River.
For some strange reason though, the chemical finds its way upriver (!),
to where the river passes the nudist colony Camp Sunshine, & Hugo, the
brother of camp owner Suzanna, drinks of it. He immediately truns into a
monster, but Suzanna manages to chain him up and lock him up. Then she
closes down the camp.
Only Martha and a few of her friends - model Claire, photographer Ken
and inhibited Lori - did not know about that, and since both Martha &
Claire are convinced nudists, they visit camp sunshine, and soon the four
of them and Suzanna do a bit of partying in the nude ... when Hugo
escapes.
Martha calls both Doc Harrison, who has found the antidote to the
dhemical in the meantime, and the army.
Harrison comes because he cares about Martha, but the army comes
because it's a good opportunity to see some nude female flesh. Soon the
army - in deliberately unfitting stock footage - bomb the monster to
kingdom come, and all Hrrison, who has come to save Hugo, can do is bury
the stone that he claims "is all that's left of him". Then
everybody undresses for a round of sunbathing.
End.
In the late 1950's/early 1960's, the nudist camp movie-genre was pretty
much the only genre to feature nudity (only tits and ass though, more
wasn't allowed) - but it also was the probably most boring genre withthe
most rigid formula ... I mean, how many excuses to show naked people
playing volleyball or flying kites can you come up with - so by the
mid-1960's, the genre was pretty much milked dry ... when Monster of
Camp Sunshine came out, and wouldn't you know it, this is one
of the best, funniest nudist camp movies. The film uses techniques of the
silent film (including title cards) and the horror film to fun effect,
employs deliberately stupid and unfitting stock footage, and seems to be
completely aware of the silly little story it tells. It might not be a
great movie as such, but it's fun, much more so than most other genre
entries.
