Jan and Dean are visiting their Uncle Woody on Iki-Iki Island for a relaxing Summer vacation at Monsoon Beach, however they soon discover that it is now become "Monster Beach" when the late king's son Dr. Knutt used voodoo magic to curse the friendly beach-goers (and accidentally himself) into monsters.
Eventually the two siblings enjoy hanging out with their new ghoulish friends and have fun adventures with them, but often have to deal with anything that ruins their fun like Dr. Knutt trying to takeover his father's island with the help of his Tiki minions, and the business antics of greedy resort tycoon Frances Butterfield.
