The sequel-in-name-only to the first Meatballs summer camp movie (1979) takes place at Camp Sasquash where the owner, Coach Giddy (Richard Mulligan), tries to keep his camp open after it’s threatened with foreclosure.
Jack Hershey (Hamilton Camp), the owner of Camp Patton located just across the lake, wants to buy the entire lake area to expand Camp Patton and Giddy suggests settling the matter with the traditional end-of-the-summer boxing match – the grand prize being rights to the lake.
Meanwhile, a tough, inner city punk, nicknamed Flash (John Mengatti), is at Camp Sasquash for community service as a counsellor-in-training. He sets his sights on the naive and intellectual Cheryl (the gorgeous Kim Richards), while Flash’s young charges befriend an alien, whom they name Meathead, also staying at the camp for the summer.
