The Wild One

A leather-jacketed omen rolls into town, spoiling for trouble like a teenager with a curfew. Johnny’s gang stirs up the locals while he eyes the sheriff’s daughter, until a rival club arrives to spoil the fun. It’s basically *Rebel Without a Cause* on two wheels, minus the introspection.
