"Side A: Fireball 500: Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and Fabian trade in their beach towels for monkey wrenches in this rip-roaring romance 'set against a backdrop of hopped-up racecars, bootlegging and morals' (Variety)! When Daytona-bound Dave (Avalon) stops in a small town to run some moonshine and race against a cocky local named Leander (Fabian), he not only gets noticed by Leander's girl (Funicello)...but also by the Feds! Side B: Thunder Alley: Fasten your seat belts for 'action and speed' (LA Herald-Examiner) as Annette Funicello and Fabian star as two stock-car drivers on the thrill circuit who kick their mutual affection into full-throttle romance! But Tommy (Fabian) must first cure himself of his racing blackouts - which may have caused the death of a fellow racer -- before they kill him and his Indy 500 dreams!"--Container.
