Stock car racer Rory Calhoun befriends garage owner John Gentry after a crash puts him out of action. He agrees to teach Gentry how to drive in exchange for a job, room and board. However, he spends most of his time going after Gentry's pretty wife. Well, Gentry is a fast learner and soon is making headlines at the races. The friends have a falling out when Gentry joins a rival racing group, leading to the inevitable duel in the big race at the end. Location shooting around Darlington, South Carolina, and plenty of racing footage are highlights, but the production and acting are strictly amateur. Alan Hale, Jr, "Skipper" from Gilligan's Island, is a mechanic in pit row, but "Stoogie" steals the show as a redneck grease monkey.
