The story

The stock plot deals with Roscoe Wilton, a teenage joyriding car thief, evading Cyco County Sheriff Turner and his unintelligent deputies. Turner becomes even more obsessed with catching Roscoe after he kidnaps his overly-sheltered daughter, Peggy Sue, just as she is about to be crowned homecoming Queen during a football game at their high school. In so doing, Roscoe also makes himself a target of other characters, including his best friend Harold, Peggy Sue's friend Cindy, and Kenny, a sanctimonious quarterback who is deeply, but vainly, in love with Peggy Sue.
