 One of the earliest hot rod movies. A teenager loves hot rods! His father is the town judge and he hates  em! Eventually the teen gets a  32 roadster. But when one of his high school hot rod pals shuts him down while on a date with his best chick, it s a total put down and he retaliates by souping up his rod! Trouble ensues. Then redemption and a happy ending! Cool scenes: five car hot rod street race and footage of dry lakes racing at El Mirage. James Lydon, Art Baker, Gil Strattion, Gloria Winters, Myron Healy, Tommy Bond ("Butch" from "Our Gang" series).
