The victim of an lndianapoIis Speedway smash-up, racer Jack Westcott Iies beside the wreckage of his car and telIs mechanic King KeIly his dying wish: that his smalI son BiII becomes "a credit to the game." KelIy raises the boy, and becomes a champion himself, but with the checkered fIags comes a checkered Iife and a suspension for driving drunk. Worse yet, BilI, now 16 and nicknamed "Big Shot," is haunted by flash backs of his dad's crash and has an inherent dread of getting behind the wheel of a racecar. When Marian, daughter of a racing investor, takes an interest in the pair, their fortunes improve, and KeIIy is reinstated. As the day of a big sweepstakes nears, KeIIy's track rivaIs begin to worry about the ex-champ's prowess and conspire to keep him out of the race. WilI their underhanded scheme succeed - and if it does, can "Big Shot" overcome his fears and Iet the racing strain come through? - Tom Weaver |
