Plot Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Cocky Twig Webster (
Mark Damon) is the leader of a gang of wealthy teenagers who go around crashing - and trashing - parties, just for kicks. And where are Webster's parents during all this antisocial behavior? Well, Twig's mom (
Doris Dowling) happens to be the drunken, bleary-eyed center of attention at one of the parties invaded by the gang. At the sight of her son and his friends, Mrs. Webster -- and the rest of the neglectful neighborhood adults -- come to the sudden realization that they'd better start spending a lot more time being "real" parents to their kids. The specter of impending tragedy looms throughout Party Crashers, if for no other reason than the fact that this was the final film for ex-child-actor
Bobby Driscoll, who died of a drug overdose in 1968, and for onetime Paramount leading lady
Frances Farmer, a recovering alcoholic who'd spent the past 15 years in and out of mental institutions.
