Caught up in the shady dealings of a corrupt businessman, Bobby McCain, the son of U.S. international resort developer "Big Mike" McCain, finds himself posing as an Exchange Lifeguard, transferred from Malibu, California to an isolated north coast beauty spot, Mullet Beach, Australia. Life in the beautiful but underdeveloped Mullet Beach centres around the Surf Lifesaving club which is the haven for a whacky group of drop-outs and misfits. Bobby has been sent to infiltrate the Surf club so that his father's company can buy up the land along the beach and build a resort. However after spending time among the Surf clubbers Bobby is seduced by the lifestyle, the people and the young girl who owns the surf club building. The Mullet Beach tribe are organising a militant defence against the McCain development and Bobby is drawn into battle against his own father's company. Wanting to save Mullet Beach from high-rise development and the corrupt elements in his father's company, Bobby decides to confess to his friends about his role in the buy-up. However before he can own up, he is unmasked and cast out from the tribe. Wandering alone and sad Bobby is reunited with his father who has been duped, by his double-dealing wife and his right hand man, into giving up control of his development company. Together, father and son decide to save Mullet Beach. In a series of whacky and exciting adventures the film builds to the finale of the Surf Lifesaving Carnival which sees the Mullet Beach misfits pitted head to head against their enemies with everything riding on the outcome. "Exchange Lifeguards" is a comedy about the cultural clash between the privileged American, Bobby McCain, and the strange tribe of beach people from Mullet Beach. It's the story about how a lifesaving club overcomes shady councillors and predatory developers in an exciting but light-hearted comedy with environmental overtones.
