    • Trivia
      Producer Roger Corman doubled as one of the race drivers, and got so caught up in the race that he forgot he wasn't supposed to "win" it. He wound up beating star John Ireland across the finish line, resulting in another take being shot, in which Ireland won the race.
    • Goofs
      When watching the first police road block stopping the racers, the boom mic and operator are reflected in the car's windscreen during the entire scene.
    • Quotes

      Frank Webster: Exercise is good for your figure.

      Connie Adair: There's nothing wrong with my figure.

      Frank Webster: I've noticed.

    Roger Corman B Film
    Frank Webster, (John Ireland) is a truck driver and is accused of killing another truck driver by driving him off the road and John breaks out of jail and finds a diner to eat and meets up with Connie Adair, (Dorothy Malone). John's identity is questioned in the diner by a man and is very suspicious of him and John knocks him out and grabs Connie and takes off in her sports racing jaguar. Connie and Frank go for very speedy rides through out California to Mexico and they even enter a car race with the police following them all the way. Connie & Frank manage to get along after fighting with each other all the time and there eventually becomes a romantic relationship between the two of them. John Ireland was also the director of this film and Dorothy Malone looked very young and attractive and they both gave an outstanding performance in this black and white B Film by Roger Corman.
