Storyline
While on a business trip just before Christmas, Tom Phillips gets into a car accident, which was caused by the reckless driving of the other car involved. Although Tom suffered no paralysis from his back injury, he did come out of the accident with a chronic back problem which results in him not being able to continue with his current work, and a mental block having anything to do with the accident, including Christmas music, driving in general and the sounds of screeching tires and breaking glass. The Phillips - Tom, his wife Peg, and their two children, teenager Tina and pre-teen Jamie - end up moving from their Boston home and buying a motel in Mayville in the California desert. Tom would be physically able to do the work required running a motel, and the dry heat is good for his back. But as they approach Mayville, they encounter a bunch of reckless hot rodders named Duke, Ernie and Gloria... Written by Huggo

Trivia
This film project was originally announced by Metro in July 1955 as another juvenile delinquent drama to follow up on the box office success of "The Blackboard Jungle." The studio had purchased the short story "The Red Car" by Alex Gaby prior to it's publication (as "Fifty-Two Miles to Terror") in the January 14, 1956 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. The January 20, 1956 New York Times reported that Richard Thorpe was set to direct the screenplay by Rod Serling, with studio head Dore Schary personally producing the picture. On March 24th the Times reported that the project was "postponed indefinitely" and "casting difficulties were cited as the reason for the decision to halt preparations." See more »Goofs
Miscellaneous: In the garage scene, a placard can be seen showing the name of the proprietor spelled "Charlie's". In the final credits, the character is billed as "Charley". See more »
