Stock car racer Tommy Callahan (Fabian) is forced to join Pete Madsen's (Jan Murray) thrill circus after his blackouts cause a fatal accident that gets him thrown off the circuit. He shows Pete's daughter Francie (Annette Funicello) and her boyfriend Eddie Sands (Warren Berlinger) everything he knows about driving. Eddie takes up with Tommy's girl Annie Blaine (Diane McBain) after winning the first time out. They become fierce rivals by the next race, during which Tommy remembers driving over his brother with a go-kart and Eddie hits the wall. (official distributor synopsis)
