In Fay Spain's big-screen debut, she's a girl who loves fast cars and one of two boys: either Steven Terrell, the son of a bricklayer who has built his hot rod part by part, or John Ashley, son of the richest man in town, who has had everything given to him, but feels like he's in competition with Terrell for everything. Miss Spain is not sure which. But as the big drag race is coming up and Ashley buys his own drag car and "borrows" Terrell's so he'll know what the competition can do, she's going to decide before the end of the movie.
Director Edward Cahn will return to this theme with his two male leads in the future, but for now he's telling the bare story without much ornamentation or subtext. Grazia Narciso and Tito Vuolo are on hand as the pizza shop owners where the kids hang out for some comic relief, and Frank Gorshin and Tommy Ivo are also drag-racing kids. In many ways, it looks like the precursor to the beach movies that AIP would produce in the 1960s.
