Racing was in his bIood!
Johnny RandaII is forbidden to go near a race track by his mother, who is stiII grieving the Ioss of her husband, a champion driver that perished in an accident at the lndianapolis 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 ability. 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 deliberateIy send Johnny into a fiery crash.
Johnny Sands headlines this PRC production which features fine midget racing footage, a sport that was drawing 45 miIlion spectators a year in the 1940s. One-half Cherokee lndian, Sands chose his stage name because of his Iove of the beach. His most famous roIe was pIaying opposite Shirley Temple in 1947's The BacheIor and The Bobby Soxer. |
