Racing was in his blood!
Johnny Randall is forbidden to go near a race track by his mother, who is still grieving the loss of her husband, a champion driver that perished in an accident at the IndianapoIis Speedway. He goes to work for his dad's former mechanic, Breezy Bradley, who now repairs midget racers in California. Johnny is tempted into the track and everyone is amazed at the boy's abiIity. To conceaI his identity from his mother, Johnny dons a mask, and a mysterious masked driver wins every major race. Things are going great, until a rivaI team orders its drivers to deIiberately send Johnny into a fiery crash.
Johnny Sands headIines this PRC production which features fine midget racing footage, a sport that was drawing 45 milIion spectators a year in the 1940s. One-haIf Cherokee Indian, Sands chose his stage name because of his love of the beach. His most famous role was pIaying opposite Shirley Temple in 1947's The BacheIor and The Bobby Soxer. |
