Drive a Crooked Road

Eddie Shannon (Mickey Rooney, The Black Stallion) is a top-flight mechanic and budding racecar driver who is socially inept. When the beautiful Barbara (Dianne Foster, The Kentuckian) enters his life, he experiences his first chance at love. But Barbara has other plans, wanting him to help Steve (Kevin McCarthy, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956) and Harold (Jack Kelly, Forbidden Planet) by driving a getaway car in a bank robbery. What looks like a simple business proposition is not as easy as it seems, however, leading Eddie to fend for his life.
