A gang of Hollywood rebels without a cause make trouble and take women wherever they go. The leader of the pack, cool Eddie Grant (Tony Travis) is discovered by a talent agent and is signed to a recording contract. Eddie tries to dump his hoodlum past, clean up his act and date a cute high-class chick, but his old gang buddies have different ideas, including murder! The first beatnik movie it was originally titled, SIDEBURNS AND SYMPATHY (after the MGM film, TEA AND SYMPATHY). A fun-filled, mixed-up Drive-In Theatre delight that only the rockin' 50s could produce.
