[edit] | This article's plot summary needs to be improved. (April 2020) |
The film is a fast-paced musical comedy about a band of teddy boys and rock n' roll chicks, whose crazy, fun-loving habits inspire bitter complaints from their neighbors in the town. A prominent blue jeans company owner feels that the kids' poor reputation adversely affects his product's sales and public image. Prevailing upon the youths to help, he engineers a series of promotional stunts to lighten the public's opinion of these good-hearted rock n rollers and their lovely jeans. An unscrupulous politician makes things difficult for the youngsters, but everything turns out well.
