Original Summary:
"Bored and restless, Val and Tim decide to "borrow" Randall's car for a short ride. They plan to return the car before Randall finishes baseball practice, so "he'll never miss it." Delighted with their new-found freedom, they persuade their girlfriends to join the fun nd drive to the mountains. In the hills they forget the time, and then Val exceeds both the speed limit and his driving capabilities as he hurries to get Randall's car back to the baseball field. A police car takes up the chase, but a twisting mountain curve quickly transforms the joy ride into a nightmare." - Summary from the teacher's guide.
