Tommy Callahan (Music/{{Fabian}}) is a race car driver who suffers from blackouts during which he drives recklessly. When he causes the death of another driver, he is forced to retire. He starts working for Pete Madsen (Jan Murray) as a stunt driver. He meets Pete's daughter Francie (Creator/AnnetteFunicello), another driver, and starts giving her boyfriend Eddie Sands (Warren Berlinger) driving lessons.
