The story

Mechanic and race car driver Eddie Shannon is chosen by two bank robbers, Steve Norris and his girlfriend Barbara Mathews, to help them with a heist. The heist requires someone with his ability to "soup up" engines and drive at high speeds over treacherous roads, to avoid capture after they pull the job. To bait the driver into the dangerous scheme, Steve uses Barbara to help persuade Eddie to assist with the crime—though his share of the heist would also make it possible for him to achieve his dream of racing competitively in Europe, the money alone wouldn't be sufficient inducement.
