John is
the eldest of the group and its accepted leader because he drives ‘the
fastest car in the valley’. Therefore, he is constantly forced to boast. That
evening he picks up fourteen-year-old Carol, who climbs into his yellow 1932
Ford Deuce Coupe. |

The
kid thinks she is much older and causes him a lot of trouble and embarrassment.
But somehow he feels responsible for her and this reveals that there is more
under his cool and macho-like behaviour. |

A
drag race. John, whose hot-rodding is legendary in the
area, takes pride in driving to a junkyard to point out cars
to Carol that have been destroyed in drag races, their drivers killed. He
later meets a racer, Falfa, who is driving a
1955 Chevy and challenges him to a duel. The entire group gathers
to watch the race on remote Paradise Road where
Falfa’s car crashes from a blowout (Falfa
is not killed). |
